cgColor is the key to the whole glorious chest of jewels. :-)

By the way, books should be here by the end of the week.
Only a few more days of the pre-publication sale!

Cheers,

David

So cgColor can accept indices to the color table? Coooooool. And
yes, "months[i]" is a number from 1 to 12 (as you might expect), which
should index the color table that I loaded with 12 colors :) I'll try
that.

I guess "months[i]" must be the "color". I don't
know what is in there, but if it is a number, I
would make it a color like this:

color = cgColor(StrTrim(months[i],2))

Cheers,

David
