Hi

 

I have a. database that stores Artist's details and I wanted to be able to select dates they are booked for, but wondered if it is possible to have a calendar or something where you select several dates and they most likely will not be a range of dates that are next to each other.

 

Am I trying to achieve something that is not possible?

 

thanks

Hi Sarah,

Is your current version of FileMaker 15 Advance?

Hi Lee

 

Yes it is.

 

Thanks

It's certainly possible, but you'd have to build it. Creating a calendar would be a challenging project for a beginner, but it would potentially be a great learning experience.

You could start with a template. There are some commercial FileMaker calendars, the most well-known being from seedcode.com. There are others that are free, such as at modularfilemaker.org.

There's a nice one here: https://community.filemaker.com/docs/DOC-8751

But it's designed to use card windows, which requires at least FileMaker version 16.

Here's another: https://community.filemaker.com/docs/DOC-8899

Here's another, but you have to be a subscriber (and you should!):

Good luck!

Thank you.. I was thinking of updating to version 16 so maybe this will be the push so I can try the card window system....

 

thank you for all the links above, that's really kind. I did think it might be the case of building a calendar and would be a tough one for me, but going to at least give it a go...

littlered136,

There are other examples that you might want to look at. Do a Google Search for How do you make a calendar in FileMaker Pro.

There are also videos on this too, Youtube FileMaker How do you make a calendar in FileMaker Pro
