Just wondering...Am I the only one in the access universe that would like an Outlook like calendar option? Is there such a thing as a calendar that can be used for data entry? You know...double click the day and "POP" up comes the event screen to enter data into. I have spent countless hours searching for such a phantom. Any thoughts or sites with a template/example/download? Admin Edit
For ease of usage I will include a link here to the post in this thread with the latest version of the solution database.
Currently this is at Post #298.
Alternatively, if the attachment is all you require, then you'll find it here ( Calendar.zip).
A wide angled version (for wider screen real-estate) has also been posted now at Post #327. The attachment there is Wide Calendar with Switchboard.zip.

I haven't seen one myself, and I've looked as well. I've thought about taking the events template that came with Acc 2007, and changing it to work with a big dynamic form using text boxes or memo fields worked up like a calendar... but I dont have that kind of time =/ We'll probably just sync up with a Sharepoint events calendar later this year.
If anyone else has one, I'd love to see it.

I have been trying for...well...ov er a year now to create/find a database that has a data entry calendar. The company I work for has been looking for some type of maintenance database with a calendar scheduler. I created a database to hold all the maintenance entries, but I can't find anyway to have a calendar be used to add/show tasks. The pathetic little popup calendar for date picking just doesn't cut it. =( No one in the access universe uses a calendar in access?!?!?!?!? !?!?!?!?
There is this calendar form for 97/2000.... but it really needs a makeover.

Thanks Megalog, but I have that calendar already. Every once in awhile I drag it back out and beat on it some more; just hoping it will all of a sudden come to life. Alas, it continues to lay there like yesterdays jello...no jiggle...no wiggle...no flavor...
Was worth a try though.

In 2007 there is a built in date picker for date fields. When you set up a date field under the Format properties set the "Show Date Picker" to "For Dates".
That way when a user enters the date field a little Icon appears to the left and if they click on it a calendar popsup.
I don't remember if that is available before 2007 it has been awhile since I used an older version.

The popup date picker is nice, but he's asking for an actual calendar form where you see the events inside the dates.

Thanks for the calendar!! Looks very promising. Can't figure out what the letter sets of 3 are, i.e. BDF, CAE, DCF ???? What a whopping amount of code! =) Thanks again.

I am fairly new to .NET (coming from a Java background) and I am trying to

I have no idea how to do this. Any help, advice, or even general guidelines

Has anyone ever created a shared calendar within Access? It would be similar to MS Outlook, but clearly not as in-depth. I would need to use it for employees to enter their availability so managers can assign projects accordingly. As well, it would be nice if it actually LOOKED like a calendar.
Do you recommend the ActiveX Calendar Control?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
