Calendar.ocx

Hi, we have applications that are in more than one version of Access (from 97
through to 2002). These applicatons use the same Calendar control version 8
(regardless of the version of MS Access that is installed on the user's PC).

The problem is that on one pc the calendar will show date labels, yet on
another pc the same application will have the calendar control that cannot
fit the date labels. This is because on one pc the date label shows M T W T F
S S whilst the other displays Monday Tuesday, ..., Sunday. When trying to
force the first day of the week to Monday, on one pc the setting is
firstdayofweek=1 and on another firstdayofweek=2.

Why is this happening? More importantly how do we resolve this problem so
that we can use calendar controls regardless of the version of MS Access?
 
Doug, thanks for your suggestion (and thanks Stephen Lebans).

In some instances we have a calendar control embeded within a form. I'll
have to experiment with Stephen's api.... but do you know whether this can be
done with Stephen's calendar?

Another question regarding mscal.ocx is there a way in the current version
to show only short day titles (this seems to have been removed)?

Many thanks

Do all machines have the same Regional Settings and Display properties

My advice would be to scrap the OCX, and use the all-API approach Stephen
Lebans has at http://www.lebans.com/monthcalendar.htm

To be honest, I wasn't aware that you could embed the OCX in a form!

AFAIK, the API approach is strictly a dialog.
