If you want a form based calendar, I have had one in use for many iterations
of RBase including 7.6 and 9.x.
http://www.byerley.net/Rb7Calendar.zip
Even though it says 7.x it is the same in 9.x obviously.
It has some features like passing a value to it for the caption and a seed
date for initial display, current date in Red, etc.

This was an elaborate date picker (POPDATE.EXE) to enhance DOS.
I have a command file wrapper around it to make it dead easy to use.
A windows form can do the same work in 7.6. Lots more power there,
obviously.
I just have to run the form instead of POPDATE if I'm in 7.6

Seems to me (I could be wrong, it happens) that some of the old UDF's were
replaced with newer functions like ADDDAY and such.

I did a side by side comparison of UDF vs DLCall in 2007 conference:
UPDATE mccontact SET contlname = (UDF('@RProperCase.dll', contlname))
UPDATE mccontact SET contlname = (dlcall('RPrpCase.dll', 'RPropCase',
contlname))
Both DLLs, the UDF version and the Win32 version (a convesion of the UDF
version) were written by me.
So, I'm pretty sure if the UDF is written properly, it will work in 76.
If the UDF is ever used in-line like the example above, the performance hit
is terrific since LoadLibrary gets called every time there is a call to the
UDF, so to keep up with the times, I recommend you make the changes to adapt
to DLCall.

I have a UDF that works great in RBDOS.
When I try to run the same code in RBWIN 7.6 I get
ERROR Invalid configuration file (2004)
Any ideas?
Dennis,
In R:BASE 7.6 for Windows, you will have to use the
"WINUDF" function to achieve you goal.
Syntax:
(WINUDF('exe-name','parameter-list'))
(WINUDF('-exe-name','parameter-list'))
(WINUDF('+exe-name','parameter-list'))
(WINUDF('@dll-name','parameter-list'))
For complete details and examples:

Very Best R:egards,
