You could try the Palm Desktop for Windows.

Note that you do *not* need a Palm or any other handheld device - you
can load it onto your desktop computer and simply run it as a calendar
from there. I use it all the time, although I

Shel,
Have you ever just considered using a handheld organizer like a Palm
or some such. They are designed to be a bit easier to use than the MS
stuff. It comes with desktop software that works just like your
handheld and syncs back and forth. One problem with a desktop only
solution is that
of software which will do (and not do) all the things you have
mentioned.
