does anyone have any sample code for the calendar tools 3.0 from

I just need a sample to get started. Many thanks
There are many, many, many free, easy-to-use calendar tools or date-pickers.
Try using the advanced search at
http://groups.google.com to search for
Calendar or Calendar Control in this newsgroup and the USENET newsgroup
comp.databases.ms-access. Many or most of those use Access built-in features
(forms and controls) to implement, so you don't even have to distribute an
ActiveX Control with your Access database application.
The control you link appears to be intended for environments (VB6 and VFP)
where there may not be so many good, free alternatives available. As you
didn't mention these alternatives, perhaps you were not aware of them, but
perhaps you found that software had a have-to-have feature that the good,
free alternatives did not.
Because I know the authors, I'd trust the ones from MVP Arvin Meyer,
http://www.datastrat.com; MVP Stephen Lebans,
http://www.lebans.com, Drew
Wutka,
http://www.wolfwares.com, MVP Albert Kallal
http://www.kallal.ca/ridestutorialp/setdriver.htm, MVP Tony Toews,
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/calendars.htm, and MVP Duane Hookum,
http://www.access.hookom.net/Samples.htm to be solid and stable. But, I am
certain there are many other good ones.
If you have already purchased their package, you'll still want an answer to
your original question: "No, I don't have examples of that commercial
Control." The usual case is that the vendor includes in the package, or
provides on their website, examples for using the Controls they create,
license, and distribute. If this is the case, did they not provide examples
of using the controls?
