A Point & Click Calendar in my Form?

[Guest]

Hi there,

im making a little form in my database, which will require the user to enter
a date, im wondering if it is possible to have it so that when you click on
the date field within my form, the user gets presented with a little calendar
to pick a date from?

is this possible?

kind regards,

Neil

Sure, there are several ways to do it. Stephen Lebans has a nice one
here --

-- that calls the Windows Common Controls API directly and thereby
avoids some versioning problems that occur when you use other solutions
based on an ActiveX control. I've also seen and used solutions based
entirely on (rather complex) Access forms.
