Excel vba Date Picker question

[Huff]

Hi

I'm trying to add a function on a userform in Excel 97 that enables a
user to chose a date from some time in the future, that I can then
write back to a record on another data sheet.

My problem is that I can't use the DT Picker Active X function because
this only seems to be installed as part of the full Office Pro install
which many of the target machines don't have. They're also too tied
down to easily install the ActiveX component on it's own.

Does anyone have a fairly easy alternative method for a date chosing
function that will operate even under a fairly basic Excel 97 build?

Thanks in advance!
