StartDay = DateValue(MyInput)
If Day(StartDay) <> 1 Then
StartDay = DateValue(Month(StartDay) & "/1/" & _
Year(StartDay))
End If
Range("a1").NumberFormat = "mmmm yyyy"
With Range("a1:g1")
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenterAcrossSelection

Range("c2") = "Tuesday"
Range("d2") = "Wednesday"
Range("e2") = "Thursday"
Range("f2") = "Friday"
Range("g2") = "Saturday"
With Range("a3:g8")
.HorizontalAlignment = xlRight
.VerticalAlignment = xlTop

End With
Range("a1").Value = Application.Text(MyInput, "mmmm yyyy")

FinalDay = DateSerial(CurYear, CurMonth + 1, 1)
Select Case DayofWeek
Case 1

End Select
For Each cell In Range("a3:g8")
RowCell = cell.Row
ColCell = cell.Column
If cell.Column = 1 And cell.Row = 3 Then
ElseIf cell.Column <> 1 Then
If cell.Offset(0, -1).Value >= 1 Then
cell.Value = cell.Offset(0, -1).Value + 1
If cell.Value > (FinalDay - StartDay) Then
cell.Value = ""
Exit For
End If
End If
ElseIf cell.Row > 3 And cell.Column = 1 Then
cell.Value = cell.Offset(-1, 6).Value + 1
If cell.Value > (FinalDay - StartDay) Then
cell.Value = ""
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
For x = 0 To 5
Range("A4").Offset(x * 2, 0).EntireRow.Insert
With Range("A4:G4").Offset(x * 2, 0)
.RowHeight = 65
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlTop
.WrapText = True
.Font.Size = 10
.Font.Bold = False
.Locked = False
End With
With Range("A3").Offset(x * 2, 0).Resize(2, _
7).Borders(xlLeft)
.Weight = xlThick
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Range("A3").Offset(x * 2, 0).Resize(2, _
7).Borders(xlRight)
.Weight = xlThick
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
Range("A3").Offset(x * 2, 0).Resize(2, 7).BorderAround _
Weight:=xlThick, ColorIndex:=xlAutomatic
Next
If Range("A13").Value = "" Then Range("A13").Offset(0, 0) _
.Resize(2, 8).EntireRow.Delete
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 1
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
MyErrorTrap:
MsgBox "You may not have entered your Month and Year correctly." _
