Ron, Ron, I tend to agree with your analysis. Google has given me a calendar open to such issues. I shouldn't have trusted Google to know what I want. How would Google know that the webinars were blocking out my doctor appointments.
I do hope that Kathy's instructions work for me. Otherwise I'll need to install another PIM which includes a calendar. I'll try a 2nd Google calendar first and see if webinars are in it also. Hold everything!! I think I've found my solution. In the column to the left of my calendar is "Other calendars". Opening "Other Calendars" I find the option to select/deselect "Legacy Family Tree". I deselected it and the webinars disappeared, both today's and in following month's calendars. Part solution found, part control re-assumed. Still can't rid the "Legacy Family Tree" entry from this area Google calendar. But now webinar entries do not interfere with the entries I make, such as doctor appointments and that is what is important to me. Thanks Ron and Kathy for your input. JimS Moore's law - The number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. This law has been updated in 2010 to "every 3 years". Technology in this area seems to be slowing down!! On 11/20/2013 04:44 AM, Ron Bernier wrote: > JimS, > Legacy has not taken control of anyone's calendar.
