Is anyone familiar with how Albert Kallal created his outlook-style
calendar for the web (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU4mH0jPntI)?

He stated that the calendar is simply composed of 42 text boxes. But,
how is the day number appearing (1,2,3,etc.) if it is not in its own
text box (for a total of 84 text boxes)? Also, if this is simply a
bound form, I'm a bit confused how the binding takes place. Wouldn't
this have to be a continuous form with 7 columns for the data to
appear properly? And that does not answer the question of how he is
positioning the first day of the month in the proper column...

This is obviously an excellent piece of work, but I am having some
difficulties determining exactly how he created this. Can someone
point me in the right direction? I'm sure once I understand the
fundamental idea, I wouldn't have any problems replicating this.

Thanks.

It is a unbound form. It's controls are show / hidden and filled in the OPEN
event and by clicking controls that change the month.

See my other post. I in fact did use a bound form. Navigation to the next
record (which is the next month) means no code at all needs to run to
display and move/change to whole new month.
However, I turned off the record navigation buttons.

So, this is a bound text box design, and while I outline a few of the
considerations in the other post, this is web based form, so you don't have
recordset processing on the web form side, and any recordset processing or
pulling of data has to occur server side.

That code and calendar runs INSIDE of a standard web browser on your
desktop. The code in that form is NOT running server side. This is what
makes access web services so very interesting (it is a true multi-tier web
system). Code you write in a web form in Access runs on the users desktop,
not on the server side. Last time I looked, your iPhone and safari browser
does not have recordset processing, but I run and tested that Calendar using
my iPad, and it works great. So, the forms code in that calendar runs local,
even when I run it using my iPad.
