How to set the Calendar control's background as transaparent?

[Ben]

Hi all,

I have Access 2003. Question: I have a form and a calendar control on
it. I set the Picture property of the form to a jpeg file. But I can't
seem to set the calendar control's background to transparent.

I simply would like to have the calendar control's background to be
transparent so that I can see the picture, ie, the picture from the
form's Picture property. Any way I can do that?

Thanks,

Ben

Not if you're talking about an ActiveX Calendar control. You could maybe do
this with a form-based calendar such as Allen Browne's

http://allenbrowne.com/ser-51.html

or one of the others out there. Using one of these is really preferable,
because you don't run into version incompatibility as you sometimes do with
ActiveX Controls.

Linq,

Thanks, that's really handy.
