Hi Viggo,
you're right, HotDates is not required for the calendar stuff - despite the name of the example (which doesn't say "requires Hotdate") - the other templates in there are likely to just be the GPF Reporter stuff.
regarding the questions - I'm assuming you're refering to the "year view" or "month view" - at the moment the docs for that are very thin, and unfortunately the answers to your questions are not yet, not yet and "it's on a page, so print the page if you like".
It won't be possible to put that calendar on a Clarion report - at least not anytime soon.
cheers
Bruce
