Hi all,

Can someone please give me a hand with Active X
Calendars? I have a form with a "unbound" date and I
would like to make users enter it through another form
that has the calendar. How can I make the link between
the dates automatically update?

PS What I mean by unbound is that it does not have a
table field.

Thank you very much for your help!
 
Leban has a calendar tool that allows the user to double click on the date
field, which then the monthly calendar control pops up to allow the user to
select a date.

Once you implement this tool, and you want to force the user to use it, you
could set the KeyDown Event on the control to set the KeyCode value to 0 and
give the user a message that they must double click on the control to select
a date from the calendar by double clicking on the control. I don't
normally like to force users to use the mouse, but for your program, that's
your option. I however do like to give the user the option to use either
the keyboard or the mouse given people like me generally prefer to do things
via the keyboard while I have users that doesn't seem to do much other than
what they do know which is very basic data entry (5 pieces of data via the
keyboard), and the rest are via the mouse.
