To aid users of my database i am trying to create a simplified date entry system. When the user presses a button adjacent to the date field it opens a window containing the current month and all the days in it. clicking on any of the days automatically enters that date into the field. Problem being that when the calendar window opens the original window shrinks to some predefined size. I can't seem to stop it doing it. Any ideas?

I know a plug-in already exists for this function, ut i'm not prepared to pay for one, and would like it customised and in the style of my current database. Plus i'd like the experince of creating my own. Anyone got any ideas?

A step in the script of the button that opens the calendar window is minimizing or zooming the current window. Find that step and delete it. This question has nothing to do with custom functions or calendars.

I want the calendar window to zoom though. I don't want it to fill the screen and i want the previsou window to be visible and maximized in the background.

If you can suggest a better forum to put it in, i will do.

The step that shrinks the original window is separate from the step that opens the calendar window. Like I said, if you don't want the original window to shrink, find the script step that shrinks it and delete that step.

To control the size of the calendar window, one method is to make a blank layout in the calendar and draw a rectangle on it that's the size you want. Position the rectangle in the upper left corner (the lower right corner controls the size of the zoom). In your script, go to this layout and zoom, then go to your entry layout.

FYI in FileMaker 7, you can totally control window size and position to the pixel.

A better forum might be scripmaker or the right brain. No big deal.
