Hi peoples,

At work we run NT4 workstations on Win2k servers. I want to be able to use
ActiveX Calendar control which is not installed by default. So I emailed it
to myself and it registered OK and appeared in the list of activex controls
in VBA.

I got an unknown error when I tried to drag the control on to a userform.

Q: Does anyone know any other way to use activeX calendar controls?

Q: Would it be possible to code your own activeX calendar control?

Cheers

-Al

Yes, or you could use the alternative DateTimePicker contol that is
available for free from www.mvps.org/ccrp/. It was written in and for VB5/6,
but should work perfectly happily in a VBA project.

Jonathon,

Tried that CCRP time/date picker but got the same error.

I think it has to do with the way word is setup at work - I think the
clients run it from the server?

Tried that

Hmmm. Not sure where to go with this as I can get the DTP to work here. It
must be something about the way Word is set up there, but not being able to
see it, it is hard to know what to advise.
