Date Function does not work

[sl]

I have VB 6.0 installed in my workstation. I modified a Access 97 application
- report and form ( add Calendar Control ). Everything works fine at my
workstation. But, when this Access application is running on users machines
with the same Access 97 version installed ( but without VB installed ), error
messages show up for DATE input mask format did not matched and Calendar
Control could not found.

How can i resolve this problem since users do not have the extra
component/functions i have in my development environment?

TIA for any advice.

I solved the problem. I copy the Calendar ocx file to users machine and
register the ocx in MS Access.

You need to distribute the calendar control (MSCAL.OCX?) and any related
files with your app. How are you distributing your app? Are you using an
installation application of some sort? If so, just include the VB 6 runtime
files and everything should work just fine. Look in your VB 6 folders for
the runtime (might be called "redistributable") self-installing executable -
should be called "vbrun60spx.exe" where x is the Service Pack number (5, 6,
etc.). You can also get it here:
