[AccessD] Calendar

Can anyone recommend something for me, for the following process I need to
do?
 
I need to create a MSOutlook-type Calendar in Access.  What I need to do is
have the ability to display (in a monthly format) multiple events on a daily
basis, that I can drill down on to get additional detail.  The reason I
don't want to use Outlook is that I want to be able to do calculations on
the detail behind the events.  The purpose is for my business.  We do a LOT
of craft shows on weekends.  Typically, this time of the year, I am
evaluating all the different events for the year.  I schedule them all out,
and start doing cost/benefit analysis on them.  I literally have hundreds to
choose from...and plan on doing between 30 - 40 events......but want to have
the information for ALL available (that I know of).   On any given weekend,
I could have anywhere from zero events to choose from, to 5 or 6 events ( in
the long run it could be even more.)  I need to store information about past
history of the event (if we did it in the past....such as booth fees,
attendance, sales, maybe weather, mileage to the event, travel expenses,
etc.)  I need to be able to see all the possible events for the month....so
each day would need to be able to auto-expand if there are more than the
standard 4-5 lines of events for that day.  I also want to be able to just
set the duration of the event, and have it auto-fill the event for all the
days.  It is very important that I can see the whole month, at a glance.
Then drill down on the detail.  I envision a check-box that I can select
which event (or more than one event) for the day...which might change the
color for the event on the month-view.   This way...I can basically select
all the events I am interested in....an apply for them.  If I can't get into
one that I wanted....I can go back to that weekend, and see if there are any
other events I might be interested in.  Once the events are selected...I can
effectively budget sales and costs for that segment of the business, for the
year.  I can also use this to develop employee schedules...as I would know
when I needed additional coverage in the store.
 
Right now, I am basically doing this in Excel, with linked cells for the
calculations....but I'm sure you can imagine the limitations.
 
Does anyone know of A) anything canned that I can use as a start, and add on
to it; or B) a methodology for doing this in the first place?...Obviously,
the active-X calendar that comes with Access won't work.
 
Thanks for any feedback!!!
