I have windows 7 on both the laptop and desktop and both are connected using homegroup. I want to be able to share the same Microsoft Works Calendar so if either of us makes an entry it is shown on both calendars. Can anyone help me please? Works is installed on both computers.

Thank you for your time.

To synchronize the Microsoft Works Calendar between your Windows 7 laptop and desktop, you can achieve this using a shared network location. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can set this up:

Steps to Share Microsoft Works Calendar between Windows 7 Devices:​

1. Create a Shared Folder:
   • On one of your Windows 7 devices, create a shared folder where you will store the Microsoft Works Calendar file.
   • Right-click on the folder you want to share and select "Properties."
   • Go to the "Sharing" tab and click on "Share."
   • Choose the homegroup you want to share the folder with and click "Share."
   []Move the Microsoft Works Calendar File:
   • Locate the Microsoft Works Calendar file on both your laptop and desktop.
   • Copy the calendar file to the shared folder you created in the previous step on both computers.
   []Access the Shared Calendar File:
   • Open Microsoft Works Calendar on both devices.
   • Use the "Open" or "Import" function in Works Calendar to access the shared calendar file from the network location.
   • Every time you make changes or entries on the calendar, it will be reflected on both devices since they are sharing the same file.
2. Ensure Network Sharing is Enabled:
   • Make sure that both your laptop and desktop are connected to the same homegroup network.
   • Check that network discovery and file sharing are turned on. By following these steps, you should be able to share and synchronize your Microsoft Works Calendar between your Windows 7 laptop and desktop seamlessly. This approach allows both devices to access and update the same calendar file stored on the shared network location.
