Thanks Morgan, looks like this will probably do the trick.

Basically it will display a calendar for the current month with the ability
to scroll back and forth between months, easily done but here's where the
complicated part comes in. When the user clicks on a day, this day will turn
green and connect to the database and enter that day as scheduled. Then
there is also the option to click on a cancel button which would cause a day
to turn red if you clicked on it and connect to the database and enter that
day as cancelled. When each month is shown, the days that have already been
cancelled or scheduled will be shown. I haven't done anything like this
before and I'm not sure of the best way to handle it on the front-end or the
back-end. I was thinking about an applet, but I don't know if that will work
well. Someone also mentioned using SOAP for this, but I haven't used that at
all and don't know what that would require. Any assistance in what direction
I should take would be greatly appreciated.
