SUMMARY

The ActiveX Calendar Control provides a way of displaying calendar-related events on a Web page. ActiveX Controls can be combined to add greater functionality to your Web pages than is possible with a single control. This article explains how to add a script to an ActiveX Calendar Control.

NOTE: Microsoft Office XP installs the ActiveX Calendar Control. If you do not have Microsoft Office XP installed, the Calendar Control may not appear in the Choose a control list. The Calendar Control can be found in the Microsoft Office XP Installation Options under the following path: 
   Microsoft Office
      Microsoft Access for Windows
         Calendar Control
NOTE: This article makes use of custom DHTML and ActiveX Controls that may not be available in all browsers. For more information about compatibility with other browsers, click Microsoft FrontPage Help on the Help menu, type compatibility in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
