What exactly do you want to do with the calender control?
What database will you be using?
What kind of reservations?

What code do you have so far?

[problematic:)]

i'm sorry I forgot about that. well I am using vb6.0 and ms access. I am thinking that the calendar, when clicked will display the information of the reservation in the textboxes. it is a wedding reservation system.

so far, I haven't started coding it yet just this

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   
      Dim rsCheckReservations As New ADODB.Recordset 
 
      Dim holdSelectedDate As String 
   
      holdSelectedDate = Me.Calendar1.Month & "/" & Me.Calendar1.Day & "/" & Me.Calendar1.Year
   
      '.Month -> returns the month number
   
      '.Day -> returns the daynumber
   
      '.Year -> returns the year
  
       
  
      With rsCheckReservations
      If .State = adStateOpen Then .Close
 
     cn.Open ("SELECT * FROM tblReservations WHERE date='" & holdSelectedDate & "'")
      If .BOF And .EOF = True Then
  
      Else
       MsgBox "Date already reserve", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, Me.Caption
       End If
 
      End With
       End Sub

another problem is the date is not updated. the date when i started using mscalendar control is the same date that I see in the system for the weeks.
hope you can help

Firstly, change the following -

Dim holdSelectedDate As String

holdSelectedDate = Me.Calendar1.Month & "/" & Me.Calendar1.Day & "/" & Me.Calendar1.Year

to

Dim holdSelectedDate As Date 'date
 
      holdSelectedDate = Calender1.Value 'Add this AFTER the user clicked "selected" a date from calender1.

Text1.Text = Format(holdSelectedDate, "yy/mm/dd")

To ensure that Calender1 (presuming you are using monthview as a control) shows the current date, set its ShowToday property to True.

You also might want to change your select statement to the following -

cn.Open ("SELECT * FROM tblReservations WHERE date = DateValue(" & "'" & holdSelectedDate & "'")

I have created a diary program for my wife that displays a calendar. When you click on a date it opens up a scrollable text box to enter diary or any type of text. If there is an entry for a particular date it changes the color of the date on the calendar so you will know there is an entry for that date. You could select a date and enter your reservation information instead of a diary entry. You can even print out the text for any entries on any month to give to the person requesting the reservation as a hard copy. the calendar is good into the year 2900+. That means you can make reservations years ahead of time and move the calendar back to the current date. I can send you the compiled program to use for your church. Just send me your email and I can forward it to you.
