iCal is a single user application. You can’t have two separate iCal Applications in the same User Account. You can do as you have been doing, create a Calendar for your Wife within your Calendar App, but she does not want this. > I cannot see how she can have this with iCal without going to the trouble of > introducing separate accounts and passwords for us. If your wife wants her own iCal (& she should have one ;-), She needs to have her own "User Account”. > > I am loath to do this and consequently transfer vast quantities of her files > to a new account after so many years. I would create another “User Account” for your wife, I’ve never seen success with two people using the same 'User Account’. > So, can someone please recommend another calendar app for the Mac from the > many available. A Calendar your wife perhaps could use in the same account as yours. Google Calendar (Web-based) <http://www.google.com/intl/en/googlecalendar/about.html> Note: I don’t in any way recommend Google Calendar: I would recommend your Wife have her own User Account.
