ASP Calendar (58KB zip) revised & updated 19/01/02
Status: Freeware, any platform web server, RM Connect® friendly!
Homepage: http://www.kamath.com/
Author: ASP, Manohar Kamath, adapted and improved for UK schools by Ian Lee.
Description: "This simple but excellent package can be made accessible on your network to all staff to view, edit or add events as and when changes occur. Events are divided into three main colour coded groups - Events/Activities, Meetings, Recording/Reviewing. Password protection has been removed but may easily be reactivated if desired. The database can also be edited directly in Access for easier setting up of the whole year's worth of events when planning for the next year. See the 'Readme' file that is included in the package for an outline of changes made by me. The original package may also be downloaded from the author's web site."
