I am using the MSComCtl2.DTPicker.2 unbound.
I am trying to set the value using the Value property
but it tells me it's read only. I have read a pile of
Google posts etc on the subject but there seems to
be no answer as far as I can find.

Should I cut my losses and go use the CCRP version?
Or perhaps something else?

Anyone any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Roy
 
OK - Fixed the read only thing by making it bound -
not what I wanted to do but it fixed the problem.
However I keep bumping into one thing after another -
I have ditched trying to use it. Is it because it's really a
VB component? I also had problems with the CCRP
version. On the other hand it could just be me! :-)

Have others successfullu used this component in a
deployed Access application?

Many thanks,
Roy
 
Hi

We use that component on a regular basis without any problems.

In Access? No problems? Not in VB environment?
Ughhh...

Ho humm... :-)
Excuse me for a moment while I tear my hair out :-)

Forget about using the ActiveX control. Try this solution:
http://www.lebans.com/monthcalendar.htm
A97MonthCalendar.zip is an A97 database containing a Class that wraps
the Microsoft Month Calendar Common Control in an easy to use interface.

This is a completely API generated Month Calendar derived directly from
the Common Control DLL. What this means is that there are no
distribution or versioning issues as there are if you use the ActiveX
Month Calendar control.

A2K Version here: MonthCalendar Access 2000

And, another alternative, very nicely done, free, and also not requiring an
ActiveX control can be downloaded from http://www.wolfwares.com, Drew
Wutka's site. And, he's working on an even "spiffier" one, currently in beta
test.
