Does Acces have the ability to bring up a small monthly alendar to select
dates in a field? Kind of how you book airline tickets on-line. If so how.
Thank you all! This is a great tool!

Lots of options for you on calendars.

This is my personal favorite from MVP Stephen Lebans:
Instructions included on the site.

http://www.lebans.com/monthcalendar.htm

You can use the Calendar ActiveX 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 Arvin Meyer's
site and download a couple of his sample databases that demonstrate
how to use the calendar.

You may also want to check Tony Toews' site which lists many
calendar options including using forms and even an API solution.
You can find that here:

MVP Allen Browne has some ready made calendar forms you
can download here:

Here is a cool one in French with a slick clock as well:

The Access Developer's Handbook has a form-based one
included with the book/CD:

This one might work just fine as well:
