arrival and departure dates for the guests in each rental
unit presented in a calendar format. any suggestions on
this?

There is a "calendar control" that comes with Access, it may be listed as a
separate item during the install process. You can do a "modify" install to
add this if you didn't install it when you installed Access. To use it, go
to the More Controls option on the toolbox and scroll down to Calendar
Control (version number). You can also find third party calendar controls
that you can use. One good one was developed by Stephen Lebans. You can find
it here.

Ack, Don't use it.

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.
