Is there a date dropdown object i can use in my forms.

[Craig Armitage]

Hi,

i have a form that requires the user to enter a date.. i know ive seen a
dropdown box (similar to a combo box) with a calendar that you can select
the day very easily without having to type it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

There is an ActiveX Calendar Control that you can use in Access.

In your Form DesignView, click the "More Controls ..." button in the
"ToolBox" Toolbar (or use the Menu command Insert / ActiveX ...) and you
should see a Calendar Control ...

And, in addition to the control that Van mentioned, there are a vast number
of calendar forms (so as not to require distributing an ActiveX along with
your apps) all done with native Access features. One that springs to my mind
is by MVP Arvin Meyer, at http://www.datastrat.com, and another at Drew
Wutka's http://www.wolfwares.com. Googling this newsgroup and the USENET
newsgroup comp.databases.ms-access will give you many references.
