after installing Ofc2003, the controls on forms with the MS Date and Time
Picker control do not work. I can't fine the control in my Active X list.
 
Bgor,

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe ActiveX controls or whatever
they're called today are no longer included with Access and haven't been
since Access 97 unless you buy the Developer's Edition or Visual Studio
Tools for Office (or whatever they're called today). The only one you get
'for free' is the calendar control.

Click to expand...

The fix was to add the file "MSCOMCT2.OCX" to my "C:\windows\system32"
directory. Launch the access app.
Open any module
Selct Tools then Select References
Click the Browse button in the Dialog Box
Navigate to the System32 directory
In the dialog box, "Files of Type" field, selct "Active X
Controls (*.OCX)
Select "MSCOMCT2"
Press OPEN button.

This resolved the date picker control problem in my apps.
 
Pardon me, I didn't realize you were trying to get it to work in
applications, I thought you are simply asking why it wasn't on the ActiveX
list. I too can add it to applications on my machine but if I ever have to
move my application to an end-user I believe I would have a problem (well, I
have developers editions so maybe not) but that was the only point I was
making.

Sorry for the confusion and my mistake.
