The old Works calendar used to allow you to name or label a calendar; in
Works 2007 and Outlook 2007 I can't find anything to allow me to do this.
This was a great feature for tracking multiple calendars. Any suggestions?

You can't change the name of the default calendar, but you can create as
many of your own calendar folders as you wish, naming them whatever you
wish.

Thanks for the prompt response. I know I can create new folders, but the
name of the folder doesn't appear on the calendar, which is what I want. All
it shows is "My Calendar (1)" no matter what I name the folder. I want it to
show "David's Calendar" or whatever.

As far as I know, and as I already said, I don't believe that's possible.

Where are you seeing Calendar (1)? If the new calendar is named David's
Calendar the tab will be named David's Calendar.

I don't want to hijack the thread but I've had the same problem, when sharing
calendars, some show the name of the calendar, some show the word calendar

That is a different issue (or the original person is not explaining her
problem correctly).

Using outlook 2003, when you add someone else's calendar to your outlook it
may say just Calendar or their name. It depends on how you add it - Open
Shared calendar uses Calendar, adding it as a secondary mailbox to your
profile adds their name.

Outlook 2007 should use the mailbox name either way - shared calendar use
just the name, secondary mailbox calendars say "Calendar in mailbox - name".
If you have 2007 and this is not happening, make sure you have all the
latest updates installed.
