I have not used these myself, but take a look at
what MVP Arvin Meyer has here:

Look for PopCalc download file.

Then click the "More Downloads" spot and look
for Calculator2K

And another possibility:

You can insert the calculator as a Package...
Insert + Object + Package.
Set the path to the calculator.
Click OK
Then edit the package and set the Locked property to No and the
Enabled property to Yes.
Save the changes.
Double-click on the control to open the calculator.

Or..

You can open the built-in Windows calculator, using an event, i.e. the
double click event, of any control:

Application.FollowHyperlink "C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe"

Note: the path to the calculator may be different on your computer.
