MSCAL.OCX KeyPress Event not exposed in the properties!events dial

[Guest]

Need help addressing the KepPress Event

I'm new to Access programming...

Background & Fact pattern:

I downloaded the Calander example example form:
" http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut09.htm "
It works fine and is a great starting point!

The application I am creating, using Access 97, is basicly a data entry app.

To speed up data entry and have a consistant feel to the application I want
to allow the users to use the keyboard arrow & "enter" keys to select the
date (in additon to mouse events)

In the Calander's Properties -> Event dialogue the only events exposed are:
On Updated
On Enter
On Exit
On GotFocus
On LostFocus.

I did a search on my system and found exactly on instance of MSCL.OCX
version 8.0.0.3432

I found the Mscal.hlp file & says the KeyPress event is avalible...

One of the examples in the help is:

The following example increments the value of a Calendar control by one week
when the user clicks the button named ShowNextWeek.
To try this example, create a form with a Calendar control named ActiveXCtl0
and a command button named ShowNextWeek. Paste the following code into the
form's module. Switch to Form view and click the command button to increment
the week.

Private Sub ShowNextWeek_Click()
Me!ActiveXCtl0.NextWeek
End Sub

which would be approperate action, for the down arrow key, in a Case
statement.

Thanks for your help...
