I recently installed enterprise edition of Office. In the new and confusing
Access is "date picker", and a active x calendar...I don't get date picker
on forms (datasheet only or?) should I use the calendar for picking dates on
forms?

Click to expand...

The two controls are totally separate - date picker will appear on any
field when the format or source is a date type and the 'Show Date
Picker' property is set to 'Show Dates'. The calendar provides more
functionality and exposed properties but requires all the standard
coding and overhead.

Once you get used to the new Access 2007, it's not so bad. Except when
MS releases poorly-tested service packs that hose you, of course. :-)

Thanks for the fast response- now that you pointed it out to me, it seems so
simple!
I couldn't find that simple bit of info in the help file...

I used Lebans calendar (www.lebans.com/monthcalendar.htm) for more
functionality..

live, learn, and try not to reinvent the wheel!
