ActiveX Calendar Control

[George]

Need help with two functions:

I added the ActiveX calendar to my form.

How can I get it to keep the current date ?

I also have a Date text box I would like to Manually
enter the date or click on the Calendar to enter the date ?

Thanks

George..

I was in the same boat as you. I used Allen Browne's calendar to resolve
the issue. It is pretty close to the ActiveX one but I found it much easier
to program with. Go here: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-51.html

The instructions will give you what you need to know about adding it to your
form. Make sure that your textbox is already set up for short date and use
the input as well to ensure the user knows what format it is looking for.

Would all users of the database need this calendar loaded onto their computer
in order to use the calendar? I'm building the database and it is stored on a
shared drive for multiple users to access.

Allen's solution is something you copy into your application. Nothing extra
needs be added to the user's desktop (which is one of its advantages over
using an ActiveX control, which does have to be present on each user's
desktop)
