Calendar
Jay Horvitz
populate it. I have 2 text boxes that will show the month and year, and I
have 35 smaller text boxes that will show the date, Is there a way that I
can populate these without having to do a separate form for each month?
Thank you

You'll need six rows, not five.

Is there a reason you're not using one of the calendar controls?

using Labels and not TextBoxes for the calendar days (why would you allow your user to be
able to edit the day's number?). Put 42 Label controls in a control array, indexed from 0
to 41, and lay them out in order in a grid that is 7 Labels across by 6 Labels high. This
code (note the month is taken as an integer, 1 to 12) will fill in the Labels with the
appropriate numbers:
Rick
Dim StartBox As Integer
Dim LastDay As Integer
Dim TheYear As Integer
Dim TheMonth As Integer
' Calculate the Index number for the
' Label that will receive Day #1
StartBox = Weekday(DateSerial(TheYear, _
TheMonth, 1)) - 1
' Calculate the last day of the month
LastDay = Day(DateSerial(TheYear, _
TheMonth + 1, 0))
' Clear existing Labels that might not
' be overwritten with a new day number
For x = 0 To 6
Label1(x).Caption = ""
Label1(x + 28).Caption = ""
Label1(x + 35).Caption = ""
Next
' Fill in the days of the month
For x = StartBox To StartBox + LastDay - 1
Label1(x).Caption = x - StartBox + 1
Next

Why wouldn't you just use the built in calendar object?

Your question was asked earlier by Terry Austin and responded to by J French. I decided to
show an algorithm that worked in case Jay wanted to continue to do it himself. Besides, my
way allows for customizations of functionality that a "canned" control may not offer.

Because it is (reportedly) buggy - also it is another dreaded OCX -
also because Rick Rothstein has shown how to avoid such problems.
I count 3 reasons.

Each of which, alone, is sufficient. I was merely curious.

That would be an excellent reason. It certainly gives you fits
with the P&D wizard until you edit the dependency file.
Haven't had any trouble with it since then, though.
