Date control

[tecas]

is there a way to display a calendar of dates that the user can click
on (like in .net) and return the value to a text box? If not, is there
some code to validate the text entered?

Have you tried the calendar control? There are several 3rd party
calendar controls out there, too.

I wouldn't recommend a calendar control because of the distribution
and version problems. Especially when Access calendar forms are
available you can drop into your app.

Tony,

How would I use an access calendar form? Are they readily available
within access or would i have to create one?

No, you can easily download them.
