Calendar widgit in control toolbox

[Peter]

I just made a spreadsheet where I wanted an easy way for a user to
input a date - so I choose a calendar widget from the control toolbox.
It was called calendar 11.0.

It workes fine - although it seems to transiently appear on the screen
during saving - but what the heck.

Anyway - I delivered the spreadsheet to my customer - and the controls
appeared but downsized and unreadable (still working actually, but
useless 'cos one cannot see the text).

The customer had a brand new (fully updated) excel 2003. So do I.

When I look in his toolbox - he onll has calendar 9.0 available to him.

What gives?

Anybody got any experience with this? I just saw a post saying that
2003 widgets are broke - but this is bizzare.

Any help very welcome.

I had a similar type problem in tat when I delivered a file with a cal
10 control in to users, they couldnt see it at all!

Cal 10 is part of a microsoft access install, are they running the on
the version of access you are?

If not the you can always goto (on my PC)...

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\

and copy the MSCAL.* files to the users pc, register the ocx file and
you should be sorted. Hopefully.
