Are you using Microsoft Calendar Control? if you are there is a property
..FirstDay which is looking for an integer to determine the first day of the
week (1= sun ...7=sat). I did a quick test and noticed that I could make
the calendar control change on start-up to Tues or Mon or whatever I wanted.
Even if you are not using Microsoft's control, I bet the control you are
using has something similar and maybe you could change your code to force a
'First-Day-of-Week' before the user sees it. Also the .DayLength property
determines the length of the day headers from 'M' to 'Mon' to 'Monday'. I
bet whatever control your using has some properties for you to work with and
a little code in the activate, open or load event should do the trick for
ya, just take ya a little experimenting..
