Can calendar be displayed in another Office application?

[Rey]

Howdy all.
Am contemplating creating an MS Access form that, in addition to
displaying database information for a groomer would also display an
Outlook calendar associated with that groomer.

Thus, the question of whether an Outlook calendar can be displayed in
another Office application?
Have not looked into possibility displaying an Outlook calendar within
a .Net Win32 form.

The groomer calendar has yet to be created as I have to look into
having multiple calendars on OL 2003 (standalone XP Pro SP3 box).

Another option, also not investigated, is for an Outlook userform
displaying associated groomer calendar and pulling information from an
Access database. Said form could then be used to create a calendar
appointmentitem that is also entered/added to the Access database for
the pet's visit to that specific groomer.

BTW, we - wife actually while I work in a corporate IT shop - run a
self service dog wash facility that now has four professional
groomers. It's somewhat of a pain to run round to see who has openings
thus the "musings" above...

Appreciate any suugestions/comments.

Thank you,

Rey

Take a look at information about the Outlook ViewControl,
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=70. That may be an option for
you. Otherwise it would be a matter of creating a calendar form with
whatever controls you want to display the calendar items in whatever manner
you want.
