Outlook Script ( using calendar function in a form)

[bbnimda]

Hi all,

I use a custom Form, and I added a function that create an entry in my
calendar, this small function contain 4 item
A field for the date
a field for the time (a combo from 00:00 to 23:30) read only
and two button (ok / Cancel)

I have Pb whith the date field because I must fill it and I must use the
right syntax
is there any way to use in this field a calendar and to select the date by
a simple clic

Tks

NB: I'm using outlook 2003 / exchange 2003

It's possible, but far from simple. Outlook has no date picker control
available to custom form programmers (which, by the way, is one reason why
the first page of the appointment, journal, and task forms is not editable).
See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=26 for controls you can add.

Hi Sue,

I added date picker to my tool box, localy it work's fine but when I probe
my form on an other PC, my form don't work properly and I have an error
message to inform me that the object isn't found => i think that is the
date picker , so how can I solve the PB, whithout copying the ocx on ALL
COMPUTER of the network

There is no other solution. If you want the form to work properly for each
user, each machine needs to have all the components that the form uses,
including any controls that are not included with Outlook. Therefore, each
machine needs the date picker, or you need to remove that control and just
use a text box bound to your date field.
