Calender Tool

[MarionD]

Hi Everybody,
I am trying to create a database for a bridal shop.
I would really like to use a calender element to make appointments but Access no longer has the calender active X element that used to be in 2007.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is there another element /calender that I just can't find? Or has anyone used the Access smart tools I see advertised?
I am using Access 2019.
I did search the forum for caleneder, but most of the entries date from years ago.

Thanks for any help
M

I am sure MajP made one a while back.
You would have to search for Calendar though?

Also Google for Peter Hibbs Calendar

There's a free version which requires a bit of work to put it together and there's a paid version, if you haven't got the time or inclination...

Actually I tried to post every one I could find in a central location. I need to look at these referenced in this tread as well and add them.

Date Pickers, Calendar Controls, and Calendar resources

There has been some recent interest in a replacement for the MS calendar control that existed prior to 2010. I have been collecting date pickers, calendar controls, and calendars for a long time and thought it would be a good idea to have one thread with lots of good examples. Some of these...

The old ActiveX calendar control was discontinued in A2010 and replaced with the date picker.
Whilst that works, it as several drawbacks.

My own calendar utility is included in @MajP's thread but here's the direct link Better Date Picker - Mendip Data Systems

Thank you all so much for the help and replies-
Sorry I haven't reacted sooner, but it takes a while to check each link- I am still working on it and will let know which one I use. I also found onr by Perter Hibbs which seems to be super.

Just wanted to say thanks and that I'm working on it!
