calender on continuous form

[newsbin.telenet.be]

I am using the calender object (msacal - access 2002) on a continuous form.
When the user clicks on a button the calender object becomes visible and a
textbox receives the date the user is selecting in the calender.
Problem is the calender pops up in every record (about 4 in a screen).
How can I avoid this?

You need to place the Calendar control on a seperate form and popup that
form in response to the user clicking the CommandButton.
Alternatively you can ditch the ActiveX and use this solution:
http://www.lebans.com/monthcalendar.htm
A97MonthCalendar.zip is an A97 database containing a Class that wraps
the Microsoft Month Calendar Common Control in an easy to use interface.

A2K Version here: MonthCalendar Access 2000.zip

This is a completely API generated Month Calendar derived directly from
the Common Control DLL.

What this means is that there are no distribution or versioning issues
as there are if you use the ActiveX Month Calendar control. In other
words this is not an ActiveX control!

The image on the left shows the MonthCalendar displaying 4 months. The
image on the right shows the Properties Menu in the dropped state.

Short of being a "programmer" any suggestions on how I can place a "pop-up"
(actually multiple) calender(s) on a form?
