Hello Steve

Many thanks for your suggestion.

By "analogue calendar" do you mean one that actually looks like a
calendar - like the calendar control? If so, creating a form that looks
like that sounds like a great idea ... but I can't think how to create
such a thing!

Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Thaks again
Les

There is also http://www.datastrat.com/Download/Calendar2K.zip from Arvin
Meyer, another Access MVP who also does not charge for helping.

And from another Access MVP, A.D. Tejpal, he has two downloads at
http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/O...asp#Tejpal,A.D.
(a) Crosstab_CalendarStyleTaskPlanner
(b) Query_CrosstabAttendanceMarking
that may be helpful.

As I have said many times in the past, there are many highly qualified
people who respect the free nature of these newsgroups and are more than
willing to help. Steve is not one of them.

Default One table or two?

Hello Jon

Many thanks for your suggestions and references: I will certainly check them
all out, although it's going to have to wait until next week now, as I have
a few other things I need to attend to.

I also appreciate your 'warning me off' using anyone seeking to gain
business through the newsgroup. That said, I will just mention that on a few
occasions in the past I have received similar offers from well-respected
newsgroup contributors. This has been at the point where the help required
has gone beyond that which could reasonably be expected for free. Many times
I have been amazed just how much help I have received - for free, with the
effect that the dividing line between free work and chargeable work is
uncertain and variable. On one occasion, at the end of a long (and
successful) thread with a highly respected contributor, he pointed out that
the help given had gone well beyond the normal free level and therefore if I
felt like paying for it that was all right with him!! I was very surprised
at the time - not because the help hadn't been valuable to me, but because I
simply hadn't seen it coming.

I seem to recall that the rules of the newsgroup dictate that a contributor
should not explicitly offer their chargeable services, and this is obviously
what Steve did. No real harm done though, and if I am unable to implement
any of the tips/tools at the references you have given (through my lack of
expertise!) I am not sure I can see a reason not to pay someone - like
Steve - to provide the facility that I need. Then it would obviously be a
matter of my specifying exactly what I expected for my money, and how much
I'd be paying. With a bit of luck though, I'll be able to work it out for
myself - with help from your references!

I'll let you know how I get on, next week.

Thanks again for all your help.
Les
