The Calendar

The Calendar is shown in Diary and Meeting mode and is also shown when selecting a date from any date control within OfficeTalk.

You can select a date from the calendar by clicking on the {bmct help0155.bmp} button and {bmct help0156.bmp} button, using the left mouse button, to select the appropriate month and then simply clicking on the appropriate date.

In Diary mode, you can drag appointments onto the calendar in order to move them from one date to another. You can also drag tasks onto the calendar in order to schedule time for those tasks on the relevant date. You can also use the calendar to change the date shown in the diary.

In Meeting mode, you can use the calendar to select the date for showing resource availability prior to booking a meeting.

The calendar is also used in the date control available in several dialog boxes and in certain lists. For example, the Task property sheet contains a date control to let you choose a deadline date for the task. The Date control presents two buttons. The rightmost button lets you pop up the calendar in order to specify a date.

As soon as you select a date, the calendar will disappear and the selected date will appear in the associated field.
