Well no one here is a perfect person and everyone does make mistakes
from time to time. Also, even the experts probably don't know *every*
tiny little detail about Access. OK, maybe a few around here.
You become familiar with what you work with. It is possible that Rick
has not worked with the ActiveX Calendar Control before. That is no
reason to assume he knows nothing about Access! He did probe for
more information and I have no doubt if the OP responded back with
a detailed explanation of the Calendar they were using, Rick would have
easily been able to come up with a solution. Sometimes an answer
requires additional questioning. That's all.
