Calendar Control

[Guest]

I have created a form where I want the user to select the dates from the
Calendar Control and then have that date appear in a text box on the form.
When I enter the text box onto the same form as the calendar control and go
to the Control Source for the text box - the calendar is not one of the
options - how can I get this to work?

Hi Patricia,

Lots of options for you on calendars.

This is my personal favorite from Sensei Stephen Lebans:
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!
Instructions included on the site.

You can use the Calendar ActiveX Control that ships with your
Access program. You'll find it under your ActiveX Controls list.
To help you see how this works I suggest you go to MVP Arvin
Meyer's site and download a couple of his sample databases that
demonstrate how to use the calendar.

If that doesn't work I would suggest this one:

You may also want to check Tony Toews' site which lists many
calendar options including using forms and even an API solution.
You can find that here:

I recently stumbled across this one:

The Access Developer's Handbook has a form-based
one included with the book/CD:

I've also heard some good things about this one:

This one might work just fine as well:

This one was just recently passed on to me:
