| 1340338 | 2013-05-08 22:45:00 | Hi Guys We have a spreadsheet in the form of a calendar so that we can make sure the important things done each day. My wife says that I am to late sometimes in opening it, she is right. When I switch on the PC first thing in the morning, can I arrange that the calendar (spreadsheet) opens automatically ? How do I do this please ? Thanks in anticipation ! Misty :confused: |

| 1340340 | 2013-05-09 00:17:00 | It'd be better if you install a program that lets you add notes / reminders to it. Adding a document to startup, will just increase the time it takes to boot into windows. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1340344 | 2013-05-09 06:12:00 | Hi Speedy - thanks for the suggestion, however we are very happy with our custom-made calendar. It is colour coded for months, also we can put events that have appointments with the dentist, say in red, but desirable like washing the sheets, is in black. When item completed we put a grey background. Exercise, like walking is a mellow green background. We have thought it thoroughly through and it really works great for us. No more missed appointments, the sheets are changed regularly, the computer backups are done on time ! What can I say, we are pretty well organised (rather than obsessive !). If anyone wants the Excel formula, just say :-) Misty |

| 1340345 | 2013-05-09 11:22:00 | Having a calendar / Planner is a good idea, if spread sheets work then great. Personally I use Microsofts One Note with "To Do" lists for work appointments or things I have to do set up in weekly sections, all the computers are networked to the main program meaning doesn't matter if I'm in the workshop / Office where ever I can add new appointments / Tasks / Bill reminders etc. One other option for some people, and many dont know this even exists, from Vista onwards Windows has included "Sticky Notes", by default ( may have been earlier OS's but don't recall it) the same sort of thing you see plastered all over peoples computers or other places. They stay on the screen till you delete them. |

| 1340347 | 2013-05-09 21:07:00 | I don't have a Vista machine running at the moment ( will soon doing a reinstall of one) but have a read of www.howtogeek.com and www.vistax64.com I know in W7 ( may work in Vista) you can go to the search and type in "sticky" ( without the "" ) and it appears. I'll check on Vista Soon and report back. | wainuitech (129) | ||
