Bad Install

[Brad]

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I've installed Office many times on many computers, however this time it
didn't seem to work that great. I have an Access DB on my desktop that I
wanted to edit on my laptop (Office installed from same CD as desktop). The
db does not work that great on the laptop. Access doesn't recognize the
"Format" function. Also, I am using the Microsoft Date and Time Picker
Control 6.0 which I got from Insert - Active X - Insert Active X Control. I
added it when creating the db on my desktop pc, but can't find it on my
laptop. I've tried repairing the install, with no luck.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Brad

Don't use the control. See the Calendar Tips page at my website
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/calendars.htm

One alternative is MonthCalendar is a completely API generated Month
Calendar derived directly from the Common Control DLL. There are
links to several downloadable calendar forms at my website. As these
are forms you can also do anything with them you want.

You can also use the calendar form which comes in the Access <insert
your version here> Developers Handbook by Litwin/Getz/Gilbert,
publisher Sybex www.developershandbook.com. These books are well
worth spending money. Every time I open one I save the price of the
book.

Duane Hookum has an awesome and simple calendar in a report. See the
