Excel 2000 Not Compatiable With Excel XP

[Guest]

Hi All,

I created an excel file with marcos and calendars with Excel 2000, but when
it is distributed to users with Excel XP, one of the calendar cannot be seen
properly and when the user select the day from one of the calendars, an error
message pops up and say that an error log is created and the program will
close automatically.

Is it a compatiability problem between Excel 2000 and XP? Can I work around
it? Are there any other known issues about this uncompatiability?

Thanks in advance,
Ping Shun

No, this is very likely a problem with the calendar control setup on the other
machine. The calendar control does not ship with all Office versions, I
believe it belongs to one including Access, but I'm not sure.

If you search Google for a calendar control, you should be able to find the MS
cal control for download:
