calendar

How do you have a calender similar to yahoo's calender in Access so I can enter events by clicking on the day and then scheduling info is entered on a form for that day

I have not seen the yahoo calender but have you had a look at the calender control that is available in access? Click on "More Controls" in the toolbox and select it from the list provided.

Appreciate the effort, but I think all that does is change the types of calendars or maybe I'm not finding what you are referring too.

Hi,

The Calendar control shold be in the "More Controls" list as ***DEACONMOON said. However, it's an ActiveX control, and in most cases in Access97, you need to register the file MSCAL.OCX by selecting the Tools -> References... menu path in the VB editor, because it's not registered by default when Access97 is installed.
Having Access2K or XP it's, as I experienced, this control is included in one of the Object Lybraries registered by default, so you need to register additively.

You can set the date of a calendar control by assigning a value to its Value property, for example:

MyCalendar.Value=Now()

And, of course, you can read the date of the calendar control by reading the Value property of it, for example:

MyDate=MyCalendar.Value

Try it around; the calendar control is a very powerful tool and makes users' life much easier :-)

I hope this helps you.

BRegs,

Sorry for the mistake...
