how to change datepicker

[sarah]

I've included the datepicker control on a form. The
user's choice is accepted into the associated field but
the form still displays the original value from the
properties. Why won't it show the chosen value?

Thanks

I don't know which date picker control you used, but when I worked with
the one from the Common Tools package, it returned the value to your
variable that was defined for the call stack, and you have to move it
from there to the display control and/or bound field using code.

Thanks for that. Yes I'm using the Tools package date picker. Can you
give me the code to move the value across please? I'm getting no where.

I couldn't find the KB article that I remember, but MS' KB database has
gone to hell ever since they started pushing .net beta stuff on
everybody. I'm not sure but what I remember hasn't been superseded by
newer controls. Have a look at the following pages:

Using the DateTimePicker Control
See Also

The DateTimePicker control displays date and/or time information and acts
as the interface through which users can modify date and time
information. The control's display consists of fields that are defined by
the control's format string. When the DateTimePicker is dropped down, a
MonthView calendar is displayed.

The Outlook Appointment, Task and Journal forms include a drop-down
calendar control on their main pages that allows the user to quickly pick
a date. This built-in drop-down control is not available to programmers.
However, both Microsoft and third-party sources provide other ActiveX
controls that you can use in your custom forms.


Also, look in the help for VB, because that is where Microsoft documents
this stuff.
