Access 2000 Calendar Control Default Date 3

[mapman04]

I'm trying to use the ActiveX Calendar Control in a form. But I can't seem to change the default date on the calendar. It's Calendar Control 9.0. I've tried Me.calcontrol.value = Date and Me.calcontrol.today and neither work. When you pick a date on the calendar, it does work. Is it possible to have the default calendar date set to today's date?

Thanks in advance!

HAVE YOU TRIED
= NOW()
or you ay have to put in the brackets like...
= date()

It automatically removes the () after I add them to the code.

How are ya mapman04 . . .

If your using say . . . the forms [blue]OnOpen[/blue] event it won't work. try the [blue]OnLoad[/blue] event!

See Ya! . . . . . .

What's the actual name of your control? Access assigns a name to any control when it's placed on a form, and I'm guessing that calControl isn't it, unless that's a name you've assigned to it!

A star for you TheAceMan1. I'm not sure why OnLoad works and OnOpen doesn't, but it solved my issue. Many thanks!

I'm not sure why OnLoad works and OnOpen doesn't
When the Open event fires the form is not yet loaded and thus the controls aren't accessible.

Hope This Helps, PH.
