>>I thought about it. I have done very little with Word automation, basically just opening Word document from VFP app and printing it. Here, with the calendar, I don't know where to start. But if nobody can suggest another approach, I will have to dig deeper into Word to learn how the calendar is created and see how it can be automated.

Here are more information (answers) to your questions:
1. Desktop application (VFP)
2. Read only application. If they need to make changes, they will do it through another application that is already working.
3. Preview or/and print if necessary. If I were to follow your initial suggestion with Word automation, user would click on a button/menu and the program would create a Word document and populate the dates with events from a .DBF table. Then user can look at the Word document or print it.
Thank you.
