Turn on the hoizontal scrollbar of the outermost group and set the lockLocation of the outer group to true (otherwise itvruns the risk of expanding to fit it's contents, which would be all 10 years).

The field underneath would be just the month letters, using tabs between them and setting the tabStops of the field so they look evenly distributed. Same thing with the week day letters, and then finally the days themselves (which could be set up as a single 5-line field with 7 tabStops).
