Microsoft Date and time picker.

[James]

Is there a reason that the date and time picture shows up on my computer,
but when it is on another it is just a white box. I get error messages four
time for the four date and time pickers on the form. Something about the
object is missing.

Hi,
This is an ActiveX control. It has to
present on the computer your running your
program on.
The component name is:
MSCOMCT2.ocx

There is probably a very good reason for this behavior-
the date picker control you are using is not installed on
your other machine (thus the object missing error). The
Microsoft date picker control is not an intrinsic
control, so if no other applications have installed it,
you'll get an error. I think that one's in MS Common
Controls 2, so include and install MSCOMCT2.OCX (else it
is in COMCT332.OCX). If you are using some other custom
control, that OCX must be registered on the target
machine.

The date/time picker is not part of Access. You may have it on your
computer, but another user may not.

Could you use the Calendar control? Or could you pop up a small Access form
with similar functionality?

Thanks to all. I used the MSCOMCT2.ocx file and that worked.
