CalendarMaker
The CalendarMaker is written in VBA and runs in Microsoft Access.
It uses Report
.Line
and
.Print
methods to do all the drawing and writing.
Calendars can be scaled and positioned,
so you could show multiple calendars on each page.
The default report type on the menu is full-page calendars,
but you can choose something else,
like multiple calendars on each page in rows and columns, which can be customized.
Be sure to open only one calendar report at a time.
They all use the same variables.
Calendar
When the CalendarMaker application opens,
one click of a button is how fast its possible
to get a calendar for the current month
that you can print.
There could be more information on each day,
but nothing was specified.
Sometimes this is exactly what you want,
so you can handwrite with pencil or pen,
and plan or document.
While official downloads on mobile let you choose video quality , extensions often struggle with DRM (Digital Rights Management), sometimes resulting in lower resolution or failed audio tracks. The Current Landscape
Navigate to the official web store (e.g., Chrome Web Store).
Open the Hotstar video you want to download, click the extension icon in your toolbar, and select the desired resolution.
Choose your desired resolution (e.g., 720p or 1080p) from the dropdown list.
Before you hit install, there are a few things to keep in mind: 1. Terms of Service
| Software | Key Feature | | :--- | :--- | | | Allows downloading from 1000+ sites, including Hotstar | | VidJuice UniTube | Guarantees high-quality, fast downloads | | FliFlik UltConv | Converts to common formats for offline viewing | | BBFly Hotstar Downloader | Specializes in downloading in 1080p resolution | | Internet Download Manager (IDM) | A popular download manager that can integrate with browsers |
Hotstar uses HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology to deliver adaptive video quality. Extensions like FetchV or Stream Recorder capture these fragmented data chunks as they stream and stitch them into a single, playable MP4 file on your device. Highly effective against adaptive streaming walls.
So what should you do instead? 👉 Use the official Hotstar mobile app – it has a legal download feature. 👉 Or screen record (though quality will be lower).
Hotstar protects its high-tier premium content (like Hollywood movies, HBO shows, and live sports) using strict technologies, such as Widevine. DRM encrypts the video stream right up until it hits your graphics card. Standard browser extensions cannot bypass DRM encryption. If you try to download a DRM-protected video using a free extension, you will likely end up with an unplayable file or a completely black screen. Free extensions work best on non-DRM content, regional soaps, or open news streams. Terms of Service vs. Copyright Law
Once you play a video on Hotstar, the extension detects the underlying stream URL (usually in M3U8 or MPD formats). It then intercepts these data streams, compiles the separate video and audio fragments, and merges them into a single, cohesive file (typically MP4 or MKV) directly on your local storage.

Holiday Calendar
Here's a calendar in English for December 2019 with American holidays.
You could change the qCalendarHolidays_US query
to eliminate some of the less-known holidays
by adding criteria
for the Lev field (Level) and remove anything greater than 3,
or maybe 1, depending on what you want to show.
The data comes from the cal_HolidayCtry table,
which you could swap for your own holiday table.
If you show calendar data AND holidays,
the font size for holiday names is smaller.
This calendar has a title defined to be
"Abby's Appointments".
Some days have more than one appointment,
so text is combined using whatever is your
list separator character for Windows.
For Americans, this will be a comma.

Backstory
Someone wrote and asked me to make my
popup calendar to pick dates
to use Monday as the start day for the week
since he's in France and that's the way they do it.
I'm fascinated by the power of drawing on reports,
and so I dove into making calendars ... do you like it?
If you want to customize this in a way
that isn't demonstrated,
or need help understanding, contact me.
I'm happy to help.
Special thanks to Duane Hookom, Dale Fye, Daniel Pineault, Arvin Meyer, and Adrian Bell.
Please

to help with costs, thank you!
