From: roccogrand on 27 Mar 2010 22:04 Thanks GP. I may finally have to drop off the development sphere completely. I am using multiple calendars in my reports to show important project dates, and the date picker isn't the right solution for my dashboards.

From: GP George on 27 Mar 2010 22:12 Arvin Meyer has a good solution done with Access forms that you might consider as an alternative. http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/forum/topic461.html "roccogrand" <roccogrand(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:994D3B14-252E-4903-9970-F53419E16998(a)microsoft.com... > Thanks GP. > > I may finally have to drop off the development sphere completely.

From: roccogrand on 27 Mar 2010 23:17 Thanks again GP, I'll check for non-MS tools like the Calendar when I try A2010. But I want objects that I can insert into Reports and size according to the number of such objects that I need in the Reports. In my current application, I have six calendars in one report. Each calendar is about two inches wide and 1.5 inches high. I can envision, having as many as nine calendars in that report. When I copied Arvin's objects from his Form into a Report, there is no calendar. If there is another way to do this, please let me know.

There might be something at the Calendar Tips page at my website http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/calendars.htm Duane Hookum has an awesome and simple calendar in a report.

David, Not quite sure what sort of calendar display you need for your reports but perhaps this site may give you an idea :- http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/forum/report-calendar-demo_topic540.html HTH Peter Hibbs.
