CSD - Calendar Links

Listed below are some Access Calendar links I have accumulated over the years. Some of these I have used quite a bit in projects and others I have just downloaded to see what they looked like.

1. This is my personal favorite from MVP Stephen Lebans. There are some step-by-step instructions included on the site for setting up the calendar which I wrote. This is by far the most impressive calendar I have seen because of its versatility. It gives the end user many different choices.

2. You can use the ActiveX Calendar Control that ships with your Access program. You'll find it under your ActiveX Controls list. To help you see how this works, I suggest you go to MVP Arvin Meyer's site and download this sample database that demonstrates how to use the calendar.
