Using Calendar Control

[Guest]

I am trying to use the calendar control to be the input source for a range of
dates in a query. I have the calendar on a form and I want for the user to
select a [beginning date] and[ end date] and then pull the report . right now
the have to input the date by typing 03/01/2006 - 03/06/2006. I am trinig to
make the calenedar be the date selector. I hope this makes sense.

There could, likely will, be lots of version problems when you go to
distribute the MSCal.OCX..

One alternative is MonthCalendar is a completely API generated Month
Calendar derived directly from the Common Control DLL. There are
links to several downloadable calendar forms at my website. As these
are forms you can also do anything with them you want.

You can also use the calendar form which comes in the Access <insert
your version here> Developers Handbook by Litwin/Getz/Gilbert,
publisher Sybex www.developershandbook.com. These books are well
worth spending money. Every time I open one I save the price of the
book.
