Where can I get updated Activex controls

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a pop-up calendar to a Access (2003, Sp1) Project form,
and the calendar control I have available to me is "Calendar Control 8.0"...
all the documentation I've seen refers to version 11.0 of the calendar
control.

Where/how can I obtain a later version of the ActiveX control?

Thanks in advance!

Casey.

Hi, Casey.

Where/how can I obtain a later version of the ActiveX control?

It should have been installed with Access 2003. The default location is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSCAL.OCX

If you cannot find it there, then do a search on your hard drive. If you
still cannot find it, then find your Microsoft Office Access 2003 CD or
Microsoft Office Professional 2003 CD to install the necessary file and
register it in Windows.

If you've lost your CD, then contact Microsoft Product Support Services to
get a new one. (Post back if you don't know how.) This ActiveX control is
not available for free download, if that's what you're hoping for.

HTH.

Thanks Gunny,

A reinstall of Access 2003 worked a treat... bizarre that the intial install
provided v8 of the control.

Thanks again!!!

You're welcome. Glad it's working for you now. By the way, "Calendar
Control 8.0" is from MS Office 97, not MS Office 2003. If your CD installed
version 8.0 on your hard drive, then it's a bootleg copy, not a bonafide
copy manufactured by Microsoft.

Perhaps you installed 2003 over 97 or let the installation application
uninstall 97 for you? Nah. That'll mess up your Office applications.
You'd be complaining about a lot more than a missing ActiveX control, if
either of those situations were the case.

FYI

Was a fresh install on a new system. Sp1 was applied directly after the
install. (Thats why I initially assumed it was some sort of add-on).

Damn those Gremlins!
