First of all you need to register MSCAL.OCX in Windows on all clients accessing your site. The file comes with 3 other files(MSCAL.DEP; MSCAL.CNT; MSCAL.HLP). I think it should work stand alone as well. If you use the next ASP/VBSript code it should work.
Advantage: Control is nice and very MS aplications like.
Disadvantage: Works on IE only and you must register MSCAL.OCX.
How to register:
Save MSCAL.OCX in c:\windows\system32(if your windows folder is named windows)
Open a command prompt and type, followed by enter:
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\mscal.ocx
What does the code do:
Variable 'browser' is filled with a textstring containing information on what browser you use.
If the string contains "MSIE" then you use internet explorer and the Active-X control is used, the current date is already picked (the user can't select invalid dates like for example: 2/31/2001)
If another browser is used it creates 3 dropdowns to select a date in a more conventional way(you have to check afterwards if a valid date is selected, also you have to format the 3 values into a date). Good luck.
