    Hi, this may seem like a dumb question, but i couldnt figure it out so hopefully someone can give me a solution. So im trying to use the windows calendar. like all calednars, they show a schedule, showing appointments from 8am to 5pm and such. because im a student, i want to be able to click a day, add whats due that day, and so when i need to look back i can click it and have it showing me whats due on that day. is there any way i can do that with a vista's windows calendar? i just want it to show what is due that day, nothing else specific. im sure other people would like something like that.

    have you attempted to create a task for a specific assignment?

    Outlook is far far better than windows calender - there's no comparision really. And being a student you should be able to get Office Ultimate for around 60 bucks.

    Yeah you can click "New Task" on the top and on the right you can put in a "due date"

    no mozilla sunbird is similar to the calendar program in vista.

    im looking for something that has no "appointment" times, just a calendar showing whats due on that day when i click a specific day, and even a bar on the side that displays all the things that would be due
