Access and Calendars

[Adonis Walmsley-McCarthy]

Hello all,

I have been asked to design a database in MS Access 2000. One of the
requirements is that there is a calendar that displays its data in the form
of a timeline. Would an ActiveX control sort this out? If so, where would I
get one that could do this?

Thanx in advance,

Adonis.

See the Calendar Tips page at my website.

There could, likely will, be lots of version problems when you go to distribute the
MSCal.OCX..

Some alternatives are:
MonthCalendar is a completely API generated Month Calendar derived directly from
the Common Control DLL.
There are several downloadable calendar forms at the Links page at my website.
As these are forms you can also do anything with them you want.

You can also use the calendar form which comes in the Access <insert your version
here> Developers Handbook by Litwin/Getz/Gilbert, publisher Sybex
www.developershandbook.com. These books are well worth spending money. Every time I
open one I save the price of the book.
