[DM-MUG] AppleWorks answer to iCal

[Tony LaFemina]

  Hi Everyone

I don't really know anything about iCal because I'm still using an old 
OS and haven't seen it yet, but I assume one of the things it does is 
store date-oriented events. Anyway, while working on a recent project 
(an AppleWorks spreadsheet), I came up with an idea that may be similar. 
As it stands, it's a basic design and I'll probably add some other 
features because it doesn't look half bad. Well, let's just say it 
works.  :-) I figured I'd make it available to anyone who wants to 
sharpen their spreadsheet design skills, see what it looks like for 
comparison to other similar programs, or perhaps use it to keep track of 
important dates.

Here's a brief description of how the spreadsheet works. When you open 
it, you see the current month in calendar format. To see a different 
month, enter a number from 1 to 12 into cell A2. Any events for the 
month shown will appear in the calendar. Enter the day in cell B2, and 
you will see the events for that day in list form. To view a specific 
month in a different year, enter the year in cell C2. The spreadsheet 
already contains a list of most of the Holidays recognized in the U.S. 
and includes an instruction sheet. Basically, it explains the different 
ways to enter dates. As with all my spreadsheets, it's easy to use and 
doesn't require any knowledge of spreadsheets. Anyone interested can 
download a copy from here. ftp://members.aol.com/easyapps/calendar.sit
