Calendar control and it's vba code in MS Word 2000

[Ravi]

I am trying to use calendar control (form calendar) in MS
WORD 2000 similar to the one that is available in MSACCESS
97 or 2000. I tried to import the calendar form (including
it's VBA code) from Access to WORD. It won't allow me to
do that. I just want to fill-up the date text boxes using
this calendar control in MS WORD 2000.
Any body know how to use ready made calendar control in MS
WORD 2000. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Hi, Ravi,

Have a look at the date-time picker available at
http://ccrp.mvps.org/controls/ccrpdtp6.htm. It was intended for use
with VB6, but it works in VBA.

Why wouldn't you prefer to use the "built-in" date/time picker for VBA?

Because it's contained in MSCAL.OCX, which AFAIK isn't installed on a lot of
PCs. The CCRP control uses comctl32.dll. Also, I think I remember it having
more options -- but I haven't looked at it in a long time.

thanks; it (mscal.ocx) seems to be on all of our win2k pcs with MS Office XP
and IE6, so I guess I was assuming it was part of the standard install.
