Re: Custom Forms question

Which date/time picker are you using and planning to distribute to all
users? None is included with Outlook.

I thought I could use the one Outlook displays in the details section for Anniversary and Birthday. I hope I'm describing this properly. i want the pull down calendar when entering data into a date filed on an Outlook form

If I cant use a native Outlook one (becuase there isn't one) , then what. Do I have to write my own vBasic function? If I find the code for one on line (at slipstick for instance), how do I use that code to create the object in my toolbox

many thanks.

The date picker that Outlook itself uses is private to Outlook and not
available to programmers. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/datepick.htm for
those that are available. Writing your own would be a big task.
