Using calendar control for input

D

I am new to posting but lots of other experience to share. I am looking for
the directions for using the calendar control as the opening parameter when
users run the report.

So they open the report, calendar pops up and they select the report period.
Then report is populated during that time frame. Pretty simple. I've seen
and used it many times but my problem is programming it myself into reports
using Access 97.

I'm to get an upgrade soon but in the meantime, any directions. I'll be
using this feature lots.

Most here prefer to use calendar forms over the calendar control --
http://groups.google.com on this newsgroup, microsoft.public.access.forms,
microsoft.public.access.formscoding, and comp.databases.ms-access searching
on "calendar form" should get you a good list.

There's also a calendar form example in every edition of _Access
<versionnumber> Developer's Handbook_, by Litwin, Getz, et al., published by
Sybex. That is a book I recommend for all Access power users and developers.
Every edition has recovered its cost for me the very first time I used it.
It's nice to let them "do the heavy lifting" so you don't have to reinvent
all those techniques.
