Can you put a date calender into access to enable me to be able to set a 
reminder date.  Also can Access databases interact with other Access 
databases in such a way that if I have five Access databases and try to 
enter a reminder date via this calender which clashes with a date in one 
of my other Access databases I get a message telling me I am busy?  I 
guess if this were possible it would need to programme into Outlook.

Any advice happily received.

Not sure what you mean by 'date calendar' but there is an activeX Calendar 
Control available, although it does have limitation. You could build your 
own Calendar Control (that's what I did) but that will take some 
programming.

As to checking dates of other databases for conflicts, that can be done 
through SQL using the IN Clause pointing to the other database's tables.

Hope this helps,

Amy
