Calender control issue

[John]

Hi

Client site has Calendar Control 9.0 while my production machine for some
reason has Calendar Control 12.0 which is causing issues. Is there a way to
install Calendar Control 12.0 on client pcs as well?

Many Thanks

Regards

Hi John,

Rather than installing another ActiveX based calendar control, my suggestion
is that you replace your existing callouts of this control with a form-based
control that will work in all versions of Access. The calendar controls are
nothing but a pain-in-the-butt, as you are now finding out. Here are a few
good choices:

Popup Calendar

After replacing the ActiveX based calendar, make sure to remove any checked
reference to this control. Open the Visual Basic editor and click on Tools >
References to access this listing. Also, make sure that your VBA code
compiles without any errors.

What Tom said.

See the Calendar Tips page at my website
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/calendars.htm

There could, likely will, be lots of version problems when you go to
distribute the MSCal.OCX..

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
