    Build a Task Tracking Schedule in a Calendar View

    I'm trying to create a calendar view of what tasks have been scheduled on a given day. Think of a physical paper calendar that someone has written tasks on - that's the view I'd like. I've done some research and what I've seen is that it's possible to create, but requires quite a bit of coding. I have no coding experience and really don't want it in my database since I don't understand it yet. Does anyone have any other options?



    The only thing I can think of is creating a report with several subreports - each linking back to a query. I could format the subreports to look like boxes on a calendar. Then I could create criteria to show what date I'm looking for in the query, and add text boxes in report to display those dates. Does that sound crazy?

    I can settle for a standard report grouped by date, but would really like to have the appearance of a calendar.

    Thanks in advance.
