OK, I've been playing around with this control hoping it would be good for my
purposes.

If the Calendar pops up, then I decide to go to another XP window, strange
things happen, sometimes I can switch to another window and sometimes I get
another window with the Calendar control on top.

I also noticed that our screen print software PrintKey 2000 will not work
when the Calendar window is displayed on screen, it captures only the
Calendar window not the screen. I dont know if this is a bug in Printkey or
whether the Calandar control is misbehaving.

This is probably a result of the calendar's properties to stay in front
of all the other Access forms and controls. I could not reproduce
this problem, but that would be my guess. I'm not sure there is
anything you can do about this.

Again, probably a result of the calendar's properties, but I cannot
be certain as I have not use PrintKey 2000.
 
Perhaps mscertified it would be in your best interests to return to
using the MS MonthCalendar ActiveX control. My solution was designed to
popup a Modal window containing the calendar, force the user to select a
date or cancel, and then return control to the calling function.

I would do but that brings another set of problems ........
My best solution is to create my own calendar window but I hate to waste
time reinventing the wheel.
 
Thanks for the links.
Dates are a critical part of this application. Most of the data is dates and
the users will probably spend most of their time setting dates, so its
essential that the calendar be a help and not a hindrance.
