creating a calendar (1 Viewer)

Hi

I'm trying to gather some information on how to make a calendar in access. We've been using reports to print of schedules, but I'd like to make an interactive calendar using all the dates we've had. I'm not sure if there is an easy way to make a "Month View" calendar that I can make that pulls existing data from tables into the calendar. (I'm ok starting over, but its a lot of data re-entry).

I'm not good with the programming language, but I'll try anything.

So here's what I'd like to accomplish

1. Month view calendar (week and day would be a plus)
2. Pulls data (i.e. John Has a meeting on 03-01-2010 would be there till deleted)
3. No user has to change days of month, or add leap day or anything like that
4. Its really just like any calendar you would use on google or outlook.


Thanks!

You're on a steep learning curve ankrumc.

People who reinvent the wheel (or attempt to) have strong programming skills. My advice would be to use what is already available.

FYI - you can accomplish this using subforms, queries and VBA.

Check this one out here.

vbaInet, I feel like I'm in over my head too. Just thought I could maybe get a little bit of direction. Is there a place where I could find some previous examples?

SOS, the links failed that you gave me. I couldn't download either zip file.


Thanks both for you help

You probably have to sign up for an account and log in before clicking on the link. It works for me, but I'm signed in over there (Utter Access).

It would be a fantastic learning experience if you were able to do it all from scratch though. Unfortunately I don't know have any links that may help you. SOS' link would be your best bet.
