I want to use the Calendar Control to display a baseball game schedule.

Example: Show a calendar with all the games being played that month. Each
date would be colored as white for home and grey for away. Each date would
also contain the team being played's logo, and the time the game starts
(local).

I want the control to read the schedule file and display the data for each
team. I'm not sure how to go about it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

A Flex Grid Control will probably do what you want. Have a look at -

for some examples.

Peter,

Thank you for giving me a direction. The link wouldn't work, but I went to
that site, and I think I may be able to find many usefull tools there.

See the Calendar Tips page at my website
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/calendars.htm

There could, likely will, be lots of version problems when you go to
distribute the MSCal.OCX..

One alternative is MonthCalendar is a completely API generated Month
Calendar derived directly from the Common Control DLL. There are
links to several downloadable calendar forms at my website. As these
are forms you can also do anything with them you want.

You can also use the calendar form which comes in the Access <insert
your version here> Developers Handbook by Litwin/Getz/Gilbert,
publisher Sybex www.developershandbook.com. These books are well
worth spending money. Every time I open one I save the price of the
book.

Duane Hookum has an awesome and simple calendar in a report. See the
Calendar Reports sample section at
