Default Microsoft Access 2007 upgrade

Thanks again GP,

I'll check for non-MS tools like the Calendar when I try A2010.

But I want objects that I can insert into Reports and size according to the
number of such objects that I need in the Reports.

In my current application, I have six calendars in one report. Each calendar
is about two inches wide and 1.5 inches high. I can envision, having as many
as nine calendars in that report. When I copied Arvin's objects from his
Form into a Report, there is no calendar.

If there is another way to do this, please let me know.

Arvin Meyer has a good solution done with Access forms that you might

Thanks GP.

I may finally have to drop off the development sphere completely. I am
using multiple calendars in my reports to show important project dates,
and
the date picker isn't the right solution for my dashboards.

No. The calendar control is probably gone for good. However, the native
date
picker introduced in 2007 is quite good, IMO.

The biggest new features IMO are the addition of data macros, which are
similar to triggers on SQL Server, and, of course, Access Web Services
which
allow you to create browser based applications to run on SharePoint.

Great news GP,

Do you know if MS added ActiveX controls, specifically the calendar
control,
back into the product?

Keep in mind that MS has announced the release date for Access 2010--
May
12th. You might want to take that into account in deciding on your
upgrade
path.

I have Access 2000 on my computer and I was wondering if I bought
the
Access
2007 update would I have any issues upgrading since Access 2000 is a
much
older version?
