DayCal is part of the Calendar Pack, which comprises DayCal, ResourceCal and MonthCal. It is an extended version of the CalLite function.
DayCal( displayStartDate ; displayNumDays ; "dateFieldName" ; "startTimeFieldName" ; "durationFieldName" ; "descriptionFieldName" {; "colorFieldName"; "titleFieldName" ; "actionOnApptSelect" ; "actionOnDaySelect" } )

Can be a date in quotes or the name of a field (on either the parent or the child table) containing the date, or a calculation producing a date. If a field name is used, it is NOT enclosed in quotes. If left blank, and displayNumDays is left at 0, the first date displayed will be today's date. |
| 2 | displayNumDays | The number of days to show. The width of each day shown is fixed, so you will see as many days as will fit in the Web Viewer you’ve drawn.

If a field name is used, it is NOT enclosed in quotes. |
