MS Date and Time Picker Control defaults to today's date

[Guest]

I am using a outlook2002+sp2 custom message form.
I have placed the DTPicker1 control(MSCOMCT2.OCX) on the form and it is bound to a custom field of type date
I run this custom form and change the date in the dropdown box and send this form to another
person. When he opens the form, the DTPicker controls defaults to today's date why?
It does not retain the selected date.

Any help will is greatly appreicated.

Not sure about doing this on a form in Outlook, but when I
use the DTPicker in VB 6.o, I set the starting date in
code in the formload event for the form like this:

DTPicker1.Value = Date

which sets the calendar to today's date. You can set it to
a specific date like this:

DTPicker1.Value = "June 5, 2004"

Changing the date in the control itself won't work. You
need to either set the Value property in the Properties
window (hit F4 to open it if it's not open) when designing
the form, or do it in code at runtime like above.

Hope that helps,
