I`m creating a calendar as well as a address book for my project. now what i can`t decide is whether or not i should use a database with access for my calendar. It would make loading and saving easier since i am uncompfertable wiht many of hte other ways i know how. I`m just curious if anyone forsees in problems with it

i was going to use the date feild as the primary key,
the date would be changed into my own format thought.. my original thought was calendar1.day + (calendar1.month*100) so

eg. jan. 1 whoudl be 101
and so on...

so my question is, is their a problem with doing this i dont` see, or does anyone know an easier way to change the date into an exseptable format?

Thanks
