How do I... use a calendar pop-up in a custom form

[andrew]

Please help...

I'm trying to create a custom task form. Within which I'm trying to
record all sorts of data, including dates.

What I would love to do is to have a little button next to my text
boxes which I can click to open a calendar (just like you can click the
button next to the "Due Date" in a standard task form to quickly select
a date).

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thank you!!

What you need to do is add the calendar tool from the common tools
collection to the toolbox. You do this by opening the toolbox,
right-clicking in the background, and searching through the list of
available tools to add. If you don't find the common tools in that
list, then add a reference to the common tools dll, and then they
should appear. I haven't done this for a long, long time. Then I had
to keep a VB project on hand and set the reference there. Now you can
do it in the VBA development pane.
