Thanks - getting to the Calendar through a browser is easy enough - I would rather have it just sitting on my Desktop (so I don't have to load the browser to view it).

It is a web service so that it will always connect online even with 3rd party software.
I Love Free Software7 Google Calendar Desktop Clients
Lists some but you need to be careful they don't have malware
Outlook could sync as well if you have a 3rd party software. https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync
I wouldn't buy outlook though just to have a calendar.

Thanks somdfunguy for the suggestion. I am using Google Calendar (wife and I have one - shared) going on our cell phones.
Again - thanks!

Here's something new that might work for you:

That's interesting, can you share calanders with anyone? Say if I have one, can I share it with someone else. And when I update it they will see those updates?

Yes. But you have to give them permission.

Can I give permission on my phone or do I need to log into the computer

You can do it through your phone. It's been a while, but basically you go to the calendar, add permissions, send an email to that person, that person receives a generic email that says Super MV wants to share her calendar with you at Google's fabulous hosting site, do you accept, yes or no...and if they accept they'll get linked to your calendar. They can view your calendar, or their own calendar seperately or on the same page. Also once linked, you can send invites to the other party as soon as you add something. The giant has a work google calendar, a personal google calendar, his club's google calendar and manages my google calendar too and he does it all through his phone.

That is awesome! I am going to do this with my poor dad so he can keep up, and we can start tracking things better!!!

I see you already have your answer. We love the feature (sharing calendar's). Whatever I put in my Cellphone Calendar shows up on the wife's and whatever she loads up on her Cellphone Calendar - shows up on my Cellphone Calendar. Now we have the Calendar on our Desktop as well. You got to love automation!

I really kind of have an answer.I see you already have your answer. We love the feature (sharing calendar's).

Because I just went into my calander on the phone, and it doesn't have a permission section or share section, so now I am sad.

Not calendar on the phone but the actual online google calendar - it may be in settings. If you can't find it, pm the giant to walk you through it.

You might be able to do it through the browser on your phone, but it will probably be a PITA to try.
I'll have to check my phone later to see if it's possible through the calendar app.

Like migtig mentioned - I initially went into GMAIL - selected CALENDAR on my Desktop. Trying to use the cellphone for that stuff is a real torture - when you get home - load up your Desktop and take a look at Share your calendar - Google Calendar Help and select Share your calendar with specific users...

Alright I got it!!! I did have to do it from the desktop...

Outstanding! Now, lesson's learned. My wife's Android picks up the Calendar updates immediately. My Android - I have to selected refresh to pickup updates during the day. Why - haven't a clue. So, IF you aren't seeing the updates quickly, you may have to initiate the update on your cellphone.

No we both are. Although a lot of the time I go in and sync it anyways.
But it is awesome now we can keep everyone on the same page
