Correct 2021 calendar is unavailable

Jamaal C. - 2020-07-22

Does the latest version of this macro provide scheduling for 2021?

Andrew Lee - 2020-07-08

The dates are not correct - e.g. today July 9 2020 is a Thursday but is represented as a Saturday. Can you suggest a fix or perhaps something I can do. Thanks.

insert monthly calendar problem

SujayV - 2019-10-15

Never mind. I have worked it out. But the video on this page is rather misleading.

SujayV - 2019-10-15

Okay. Downloaded the Insert calendar for Outlook 2016. How do I use it? I watched the video and I simply don't see the insert button in the Quick Access Bar. Please help.

Omer Atay - 2019-04-03

inumo: This is now fixed

inumo - 2019-03-31

First Day of week can't set to Monday

Omer Atay - 2019-03-14

CardDolphin: Email support@getonetastic.com so we can diagnose.

CardDolphin - 2019-03-14

Yes, even on an empty page.

Omer Atay - 2019-03-13

CardDolphin: Does this happen on a particular page, which is probably too big? Can you try this on an empty page?

CardDolphin - 2019-03-13

Hello,
This macro keeps hanging at the "Updating page contents" stage. I have to cancel and then end OneNote task in Windows to exit out. How can I avoid this?

Omer Atay - 2019-03-12

Audrey, you can download an old version of the macro using a configuration file. Instructions are available at: https://getonetastic.com/how-to/deploy-macros
You would want to specify the previous version of this macro which is version 52EB2C.

Audrey - 2019-03-12

Hi,
Can someone tell me where I can find the version work with OneNote 2010 ?
Since I made the upgrade, that macro don't work anymore on my pc.
Thanks in advance.

Insert Monthly Calendar (updated on February 24, 2019) can't work in onenote2013.

Timo - 2019-02-01

Hi,
i have a Problem with installing macros from macroland. If i download a macro and double klick it the Popup window "Macros from macroland opens. But there are no macros i can download or install. Instead of macros there is the error-message "There was an error while getting macros from Macroland".

I reinstalled office, one-note and onetastic several times but nothing seems to help. I even tried it with deactivated firewall like it is written in the faq's...

with king regards

Alvaro - 2018-12-11

Hello,

Due to a firewall in my company system, I am not allowed to access any macros. Could be possible to send me or upload to your website the macro code "Insert Monthly Calendar" so I can create manually my own macro?

Thank you very much.

Jeff Alberts - 2018-10-03

Hello All,
I just discovered OneTastic, and love the calendar macro.
I'm pretty picky about how I want to use this, so I'll try to describe it and maybe someone can tell me how feasible it is.

I use OneNote on my laptop to sit on the left side of my screen so that I can always see what I need to do today and the next few days. I don't have to click on it to see the next few days, I just manually enter dates and then tasks for each day. I'd like to have a calendar generated but in a single column with the day of the week, and the date in each cell, and of course room to enter text. A "normal" calendar layout doesn't work for me, since I have to constantly go back and forth from my browser to OneNote see more than one day.

I know I could just make a table, but I'm trying to prevent as much manual entry each month as possible.

I have some programming skills, so I could probably make a copy of the macro and see if I can do what I need, but I'm kind of hoping someone has already done it.

Thanks!

Roman - 2018-05-16

Hey guys,
there used to be a menue to insert tables for each single day - for some reason, I cannot find this anymore.. can you help me with that issue?

Omer Atay - 2018-01-23

Mike: This macro now remembers its settings

Mark - 2018-01-14

Great macro!
I have the following suggestions:
- include a column on the very left of the table displaying the calendar week number
- an option to set Monday as the default beginning of the week

PeterB - 2017-12-06

Omer: thanks for your help. After installing FiddlerCap and running it I could install the macro. When I retried with FC it did not work.
I sent you the .saz file.

Omer Atay - 2017-12-05

PeterB: You can try to capture a Fiddler trace and send it to support@getonetastic.com. See: https://www.telerik.com/fiddler/fiddlercap. Make sure to check "Decrypt HTTPS traffic" and at step 7 where it says "go to whatever site you need and reproduce the problem", open the Download Macros window to reproduce the problem.

PeterB - 2017-12-05

Omer, any other suggestions?

PeterB - 2017-12-03

Omer, I have no problems with my internet connection, nor with my firewall. In fact, I was able to download the macro to my computer's download folder but cannot install it because of the error message.
Should I uninstall & reinstall Onetastic?

Omer Atay - 2017-12-02

PeterB: It sounds like your computer is having problem connecting to this website to get the list of macros. Check if you have any connection problems or firewall that may be preventing the connection

PeterB - 2017-11-30

Omer, I had this macro installed, but it has disappeared mysteriously. When I try to reinstall it, I get the following message from OneNote:

There was an error while getting macros from Macroland.

Please advise my next step.
Many thanks.

Omer Atay - 2017-02-28

Dan: Settings > Compact Mode does something similar. See if you like that.

Dan - 2017-02-28

Hi Omer,

I really love this ribbon idea shown below - you have made it for the download macros button on the Ribbon.

postimg.org/ image/ t9hlu1p5j

Do you know if i can use this in the main ribbon as a drop down

Add my macros to it.
I would love to have this as my macro collection grows - I can organise it like you have.
I added new tabs on the ribbon - but I still prefer this drop down it is so nice to look at and use.
I hope you can add this feature in the future :)

Omer Atay - 2017-02-14

Anonymous: Thanks for reporting. I fixed the macro.

Anonymous - 2017-02-14

The statement that define the $Months should before the $curMonth, otherwise the select month in the dialog box is always January.

Omer Atay - 2017-02-11

Can: No, Onetastic only works on Windows

Can - 2017-02-11

Is there a version of this for OneNote on Mac?

DYHONG - 2016-12-14

Thanks.

Paranam Kid - 2016-12-10

Thanks Omer :-))

Omer Atay - 2016-12-09

Paranam Kid: Updated the macro to insert the calendar to where the cursor is instead of at the end of the page

Paranam Kid - 2016-12-08

Omer, is it possible to amend this macro so the user can choose where to insert the calendar on the page, instead of the macro always putting at the end of the page?

Paranam Kid - 2016-11-15

Why can the calendar be inserted at the end of the page only, and not where I want to insert it on the page?
Why is the current day not highlighted, maybe as an option?

Omer Atay - 2016-09-09

Heather Murchison: No it just means that that specific page has some problem. If you can send a copy of the page to support@getonetastic.com I can look into it.

Heather Murchison - 2016-09-09

Hello Omar,

It works if I use a blank page, which is frankly what I normally do when using my desktop. Randomly I tried to add a calendar to a page that already had content... so that doesn't work by design?

Cheers,
Heather

Omer Atay - 2016-09-08

Heather Murchison: Does it matter which page you are inserting to? Can you try to insert into a new blank page?

Heather Murchison - 2016-09-08

Hi there,

I just installed OneTastic and this macro on my Surface and I am getting an error when I try to insert a calendar into a OneNote page.

It says Error at the top and then The XML is invalid.

Any ideas why? This macro works great on my desktop (Win10, same as my Surface).

Thank you!

Omer Atay - 2016-07-26

rlivermore: I think you are confusing OneCalendar, which is a calendar view of your existing notes and this macro. You want to download this macro, double click install it into OneNote and run it under Macros>Calendar dropdown in your home tab. ">>When I click on the calendar link under Macros": I think that is if you follow Macros>Download Macros>Calendar>this macro.

rlivermore - 2016-07-26

Hello, I'm not understanding how this new calendar option works. When I click on it, it opens a calendar, but I don't see a way to insert it into a page on OneNote. When I click on the calendar link under Macros, I end up on this page. How do I actually insert the calendar into a page in OneNote? Thank you in advance for your help.

Omer Atay - 2016-06-23

Scott111: Currently there is no way to get the macros code other than using the macro install. If your machine is behind a firewall, you could potentially download it on another machine that is not behind a firewall (like your home computer) and then get the code to the other machine. Also make sure that you have latest version of Onetastic, because users reported that older versions of Onetastic may fail to download macros with Access Denied.

Scott111 - 2016-06-23

Is there a place that I can download the macro's code? I tried using the download link, but Ontastic cannot get the code. I get the Access Denied error, which the FAQ says is probably due to a firewall block.

If I could download the code, then could I just paste it in as a new macro?

Omer Atay - 2016-06-22

mwoffenden: Yes you need to install the updated macro as well. Sorry for not making that clear. After installing Onetastic 3.0.0 you were still using your old macro.

mwoffenden - 2016-06-22

Follow up to my previous comment. For some reason the fixed "Insert Calendar" macro was not installed when I upgraded to Onetastic 3.0.0. So I installed the macro again from this page, and now it works -- with a single dialog at that. Great!

mwoffenden - 2016-06-22

I just installed the 64 bit version of Onetastic 3.0.0 (on 64 bit OneNote).

The year now defaults to 2016, however the month still defaults to January. Also there are two popup dialogs, one for Year and a second one for Month.

It would be much better if all on one dialog (with the current Month used as a default.)

Omer Atay - 2016-06-21

This macro is now updated to show the current month and year on the dialog box. This requires latest version of Onetastic (3.0.0)

JOHN@JOHNLISANTI.COM - 2016-06-18

CAN WE TYPE ON NALANDER DAY APPOINTMENTS AND WITH WHO AND SUBJECT

mwoffenden - 2016-05-30

Good, but would be better if the dialog would default the Year and Month to match today's date.

Maah - 2015-03-26

hello, i just came here to say how much i'm tankful for all this i have no words, worlds better with people like u. thank you!!

ConradMiller - 2015-03-24

Paul/Weez,
Did you save the macro installer to your machine?  If so, did you check to see if the operating system had the security of the downloaded macro marked as blocked?

<right click file>
<choose Properties from context sensitive menu>

If you see the following notice...

Security:
This file came from another
computer and might be blocked to
help protect this computer.

<click the "Unblock" button>

Then try to install the macro again.  Hope this helps.

PS: Omer/Doug - just now found out about Onetastic via Doug's Webinars.  I'm a little late to the game, but it was worth the wait.  Onetastic is a greatastic add-in.  Thanks

Paul - 2015-01-28

Like Weez, I also get the 'access denied' error message when trying to install a downloaded macro. However, this is only a problem on my work pc, not my personal one, so I'm guessing its a group policy restriction or something. Any way round this?

Jurgen - 2015-01-14

There is an error in some months that start its 1st in sunday and you change the preference to start weeks in monday, example Feb 2015 starts on sunday but the macro just cut the sunday and starts at 2 in monday.
By the way, very useful macro and thank you!

Weez - 2014-12-17

Hi all,
first - Onetastic is fantastic ! Absolut amazing tool.
But I have issues adding macros to OneNote.
When i double click a downloaded macro OneNote says "access denied" .. end

Any thoughts?

Omer Atay - 2014-08-15

Rem: Sorry this is currently not possible. You will need to update the macro every month (and if you are using it once a month then that doesn\'t help)

Rem - 2014-08-13

Hi
Could you please advise if it would be possible to dynamically set the Initial Values to the current year/month?

Omer Atay - 2013-11-25

bob, if you simply want to invoke stuff manually from each day, you can add links in the cells that run some commands. If you want them to automatically execute on each day, then not really, there isn\'t any scheduling smarts in macros.

bob - 2013-11-25

A related question: would there be a way to use a calendar as a \"scheduler\"?
I have made a backup scheme in Onenote( disks ,partitions,files to backup; and backup locations), i know i can use windows scheduler, ( no outlook installed).
But i prefer to us ON if possible to remind me when to perform a backup.
Thanks

jupp25 - 2013-09-26

works great

Omer Atay - 2013-09-24

Rick/Hugh: The macro is updated to have a First Day of Week and Format options. You can edit the macro and modify it to your needs as well.

Rick - 2013-09-23

How can I make the Calendar Larger. I am looking for about 2 x width and 3 x height.

Omer Atay - 2013-09-13

Hugh: I can update the macro to do that. In the mean time you can use the Macro editor and see if you can modify it as well. Feel free to upload it to Macroland if you get it to work.

Hugh Wanger - 2013-09-06

Any chance you could insert a calendar with Monday being the starting day?

Dro - 2013-07-21

ok thanks, i had to change the file extension from .htm to .onetastic

Omer Atay - 2013-07-20

Could you please try another browser? The macro file is associated with MacroInstaller.exe and Opera may be ignoring that. The file extension should be .onetastic. If it isn\'t you may try to change the file name and retry.

Anonymous - 2013-07-20

thanks for the fast reply, but i installed Onetastic already before. When i download the macro and double click on it, Opera will open and i see a number.

Omer Atay - 2013-07-19

Dro, you need to download the file and double click on it. If you haven\'t installed Onetastic, you need to first download and install it, otherwise you won\'t be able to install the macro.

Dro - 2013-07-19

how can i install the macro? when i open it, i just get a number in my browser, because it\'s a htm-file

Omer Atay - 2013-05-19

Fausto, thanks for reporting this. Apparently I typed \"Septemberr\" somewhere in the macro, causing the comparison to fail. I just updated the macro, so it should work now.

Fausto Broseghini - 2013-05-18

entering the month of September 2013, the result is wrong ... starting with the fact that September is not 31-day ... and that the first falls on a Sunday and Wednesday.

good work

namAehT - 2013-05-05

do you think you could put a text box in instead of a drop down list? I\'d do it for myself but xml is not a language i know. i\'m assuming you\'d also have to see if you can divide it by 4 to see if it\'s a leap year,
if (YEAR%4 != 0)
{
do something with days
}

this is why i like the C\'s and Java...
