Good morning:
I created a data entry form that has been working well, and needed to
redesign it. The form is called, and now the first field to be filled
in is a date using the MSCAL.Calendar. 7 ActiveXCtl. The calendar
presently displays the current date. The first time the user enters
the date on the form, the date resets to the current date, and the user
must re-enter the new date.
I also note that upon entering the form, the new record and delete
record buttons on the tool bar are greyed out, and remain so until the
date is entered the second time.
If I have another field take focus upon opening the form, a simple
macro (SendKeys) text will populate the text field, and tab to the
calendar allowing the user to enter the date correctly.
There has to be a better way to make the calendar take focus upon
opening the form, and allow the user to enter the date the first time.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Personally, I find Stephen Lebans' calendar class a heck of a lot
better then the MSCAL ActiveX file. But that's me. (Nothing to
install!)
Anyways, the trick to having a "sticky" is to make a form level
variable. In the "Exit" event of the control you want to be "sticky",
set the form level variable to the control. In the Form's "Current"
event, check for "Me.NewReco rd". If that's true, set the control to be
= form level variable.
Simple, cheap, works. What more could you ask for? (And it doesn't
use the problematical "SendKeys" function either!) ji************@ yahoo.com wrote: Good morning:

Can someone recommend a very simple script to produce a web calendar?
I just want something where I can select a month and year and it produces
a very basic HTML table, 7 columns across, one month at a time, with the
dates filled in.
No frills, no nothing, just pure, month producing code.

Hey all,
How do I set the default date of my MSCAL.Calendar.7 calendar to today's date? I have it on one of my forms so that an employee can click on a given date and bring up the records form there. I just want the data to automatically be today's date, instead of having to click the desired date (which in almost all cases will be the current day's date).
Thanks in advance,
James

Hey guys,
I'm using MSCAL.Calendar.7 to allow the user to select a date and time in an Access application which is used across a network. The application uses Access 2003 as the frontend with SQLServer 2000 as the backend. On most machines (including the one I am developing on) the months and days are correctly displayed in English. However, on some machines the are displaying in German. I thought it may be caused by some machines having...
