Silica Calendar - Incorrect
Monday, March 28, 2005 by Stephen Penrose | Discussion: DesktopX
The calendar appears to be programmed incorrectly - Monday 28th March (today) is definitely not a Saturday as the calendar shows - I think the wrong year has been put in - don't know how else to report the problem.

Wow! JavaScout, you rock! 
Many thanks for your thorough walkthrough for the different fixes!!
I just tried your suggestions for fixing the Silica Calendar and
you are right on the money! =D
Now I can use the calendar again, huge thanks!
Ps. for Stephen:
Where JavaScout writes;
"Go back to the object list and change the X value of the following objects
dateDay1 - 20
dateDay2 - 33
dateDay3 - 52
dateDay4 - 72
dateDay5 - 92
dateDay6 - 111
dateDay7 - 129"
...that's the top row in the summary tab.
Just click on the number in that row to change it
to the number JavaScout suggests and the calendar
will soon work ok for you too
*hands JavaScout his softest marshmallows* =D

I've been away a week and I can't believe how much has been written - thank you all.
JavaScout - I've tried your fix. The week now starts on a Monday. By changing the dateMonthText - script line 133 to ulFirstDay = DatePart("w", pFirstDay, 6) I've got the right date displaying under the right day of the week - but my next month still starts a day too early! i.e. 30th April is a Saturday but so is 1st May!
Martin's calendar works well
. I've looked at the script but can't see how to alter the Silica script to get it working (but then I'm not a computer genius).
What is so frustrating is that JavaScout and Lilstarfish have correctly working versions and I don't despite doing the same things!

Stephen,
The fix with setting the DatePart to 6 was wrong. The actual problem was the column headings where arranged incorrectly. If you set it back to 0 and re-arrange the columns as described in my April 5th reply everything should be good.

Sorry JavaScout - If I do this the it gives today a Wednesday 9th April (not Saturday). I still have the problem with the first day of the month not following on from the last day of the previous month - should there be a line somewhere saying "first day of month = last day of previous month + 1" or something along those lines.

Stephen,
I just submitted an update to the calendar with the ability to set start of the week.
Hopefully you will be able to download this if a few days and see if this fixes your problems.
