When I try to open Microsoft Works Calendar I get an error message "Microsoft Works 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close".
Word and Excel are OK. Running Windows XP. Calendar has been working OK for a long time. I've tried restarting the PC but to no avail. Any suggestions? (other than to get an up to date system)
Going by this page it can happen if the calendar database is marked as Read Only, or is corrupt. There are remedial actions shown on the same page, but if your calendar does turn out to be corrupted, you may have lost it's contents unless you back it up elsewhere
Thanks Bob - it looks frighteningly complicated but I'll think about trying the suggestions.
Couldn't make the suggested fixes work so I re-installed disc 1 of Works Suite and all is well - didn't even lose the calendar contents.
