I use Google calendar. As with all Google apps it syncs across all devices, and is especially helpful if you also use gmail. Calendar is a default app on the N7. I'll schedule an appt. on the N7 calendar, for example, and have it send me a reminder via email, which I will receive on both my PC and N7. You can set reminders to arrive a day, half day, hours, and/or 10 minutes before the event.

Cheers,

Do you use Google Calendar on your PC?

Sorry that I wasn't more clear. Yes, I use Google calendar on my PC as well. I don't use this option personally, but if I understand correctly, gmail can be linked to calendar -- so if I send you an appt in an email it can show up in your calendar.

Just do a search for "Google calendar help."

Thanks Martyh, I got it working.
Every time I searched for the PC Google Calendar it came up with the paid for "Business" calendar, I finally used the Chat and was given the free URL.
I am happy now and appreciate your help.

Glad it all worked out, nodsirrah; it has been so long since I started using Calendar on my PC that l wasn't aware of the hassle finding the link. The Android app isn't the best design, so at some point take a look at a very cool app called Cal. It interfaces with Google calendar, so updating Cal  *should* also update Google.
Cheers.
