We implemented a vbx calendar from Microhelp about a year ago. It worked great, but now Microhelp is out of business, and VBXs are going out too. We just updated to an OCX calendar from Crescent software (crescent.progress.com) last Jan. Forms doesn't do a very good job with OCXs right now, but along with global warming and world peace, this should be fixed and fully compatible in the next version. With the calender, you'll get about 18 other controls and some VB routines.

We also took a look at a couple calendar objects written in Forms, but they worked too hard to accomplish this simple task.
