Popup Calendar

[RevJeff]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to have a calender popup on the screen when a user clicks a button. I have read through a lot of posts and all of them seem to want the ability to either choose a date and enter it into a field or be able to make notes on a given date.

All I am trying to do is have a calendar popup mearly for reference. I want the user to be able to scroll through months and years, but not be able to pick a date.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

I use the zsCalendar for a quick popup calendar that I attach to a button on the Onclick event. You can find it here ...

Just out of curiosity, for this purpose why not simply use the Windows calendar by clicking on the time in the Windows Taskbar? Are you running your Form 'full-screen?'

Hi guys

Like to join this bandwagon to share an event i encounter relating to calender control.

I have a form with added a calender control. This is done on a PC with office03.sp3; thus the calender control came from the file mscal.ocx found in the Program Files > Office11. In the Properties > Data tab, it is shown as class MSCAL.Calender.7. This is the same class if i add a calender control from Office07 in which case the .ocx came from the folder Office12.

Next a .mde is created for this form and ran from Access07.RunTime. It pops up fine.

Then one day, it failed to pop up with an error message 2473: "fail to evaluate a function, event, or macro". I suspect the registry of the win7.32bit.homeEditn got corrupted as certain Regional date setting was also changed. Thus i did a system restore to the last good point. With this the calender pops up again.

Do any of you have any suggestion to pin point this event to fix it without restoring the registry.

Attached is the Calendar Demo referred to by miha.

The Allen Browne Calendar is also very easy to apply.

RevJEff has apparently gone on sabbatical, being MIA for 5 days now! Still interested in why the users cannot simply use the Windows Calendar from the Notification Area of the Windows Taskbar.

Yr Q, are you referring to the Notification area in the Task bar at the bottom right?

Before Access07 there is no calender popup next to a date field. Anyway I need to use a Calendar Control in a form to interact & validate fields on the form when a date is selected. I hope this is what you mean.
