calendar and access 2003

[Dan]

I have access 2000 and 2003 installed, but I am using access 2003 and want to
use the calendar control. However, my calendarcontrol says 9.0. Shouldn't
it be 11.0?
I don't know if this matters, but i looked at the references and it says
obj. library 11.0.

Can anyone tell me why it says 9.0 instead of 11.0 and if I can use the 9.0
without problems?

Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Don't know for sure but I don't think that the calendar control is tied to
the version of Access as it is a separate component, I don't think you are
going to have any problems running a previous version.

As Alex says, the Calendar control isn't really part of Access, so its
version will be independent.

However, in my opinion it's far better NOT to use the calendar control, and
instead use the all-API implementation Stephen Lebans has at
http://www.lebans.com/monthcalendar.htm That way, you avoid any of the
versioning problems to which OCX controls are prone.

Yep totally second that opinion, OCX stuff is bad news always if you have
the choose the API every time.

Or an Access form version such as:
