I need to write a program.
the basic format is a calendar. 1 month.
They click on the day and enter text.
The Calendar needs to be the size of the screen.

I found lots of ActiveX controls. That is not what I want.
Maybe a custom form with each day being a button?

Can anyone point me in the right dircection?
I will try all ideals.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. But if you need to enter text on a
calendar, I would advise to look at existing programs before writing new
ones. the Outlook calendar can do perfectly what you describe, and a lot
more than that.

So are you going to be honest and say who really developed the calendat
form?


These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support.
There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)
Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a
spreadsheet.

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

So sorry you were propositioned in a forum where help is FREE! Belowe are
just a few links which should get you closer to what you need. All the
samples available at these sites are FREE. And if these don't work, post
back, there are plenty more FREE ones where they came from!

HI Noëlla Gabriël,
Sorry. I should have given more/better details on
the what/when/why side. What I am trying to make is a log book. When we
receive receipts we have to log them in. There are about six people who
regularly use it.
Currently they use Outlook to print a calendar. One month per page. They
like the format but the book tends to get lost a lot.

The ideal:
Create a program that looks like a calendar.
the form is a month.
They want to click on a day then enter the information.
They want it displayed like a calendar.

I have never made a calendar before so I was hoping someone out there has a
Calendar for beginners....... make that Calendar for Scott.
Something simple. So I can learn from it.

That is the ideal.
Thank you for your time.
Scott Burke
 
Thanks Gina,
I am going to give them a look thru. Have a good week end.
