Calendar Control (Show items in the calendar)

[adamcbest]

I have used the ActiveX Calendar Control in access to do queries based on the date chosen and display results in text boxes, list boxes, etc. BUT. is there any calendar control that will allow the events for a particular day to show actually within the date box on the calendar? much like if you just wrote each event on a paper calendar on your wall. any ideas, or does this type of calendar control not exist??

What you are looking for is an "event calendar". You can do a search of the 'net and find various ones for sell. Or see:

ok from what i read from that post, you can type notes and such in, but will the one you supply allow you to have a control source of records in a database with say due dates.

say i had a form that allowed you to input a new assignment, instructions about the assignment, assigned date, due date, grade received, etc. and stored this info into an "assignements" table. could your calendar control use assignments table as a control source to display the assignment name in its due date. then if you double click that record in that datebox, could it bring up a detail screen showing all the info you initially typed about that assignment. Thats my ultimate goal.
as of now i have the activex calendar able to display the assignments due in a listbox for the particular date chosen, but i can't effectively get an overall monthly picture.

If your calendar control you can supply will do that, i would be mor ethan happy to try it out.


Thanks for the response
