Hello,

Could someone briefly explain how I go about inserting a field, in a form
for the date to be recorded. When you click into the field, I want a small
calender to open up so you can click on the date you would like into
entered, rather than having to type it in yourself.

I have added a field called mailshot date' in my table and formatted it to
be a date field. But I have to enter the date manually into the mask it
provides. I'm sure i've seen this on other DB's.

Thanks
 
Hi Paul

If you would like an example of this, send me an email and I will send you an
example of a calendar ( not OCX ) / form that does exactly what you want

There's a Calendar control: see Insert... ActiveX Control... Calendar
10.00 (or whatever version you have) in form design view.
