how do i create a pop-up calender 2

[murphysdad]

Is there any way possible that I can have a pop-up calender come up when someone is filling out a form and requested to supply a target date. Peopl are asking to see an actual calender so they can plan their target dates by knowing what day of the week it is. Thank you!!!

this form wouldn't open for me.

What i did was create a separate form and placed the microsoft calendar control on it. Scaled it how i wanted added a close button etc and changed the forms look.

When ever i wanted a user to input a date i placed a little button next to the text box and this loaded the calendar form. If a user clicked a date then the text box would display that date, if the user double clicks a date it closes the calender and shows the date in the text box.

I can send you an example if you want.Hope this helps

Hey Mouse, I would love to see the example you are talking about as in my database there is start dates and end dates.

Thanks slammer AKA Mich

There is a problem with using the Calander control that is that you have to register the control on some PC's this can be fixed by creating a batch file and registering the control in the registary this is my batch file that i ran on the PC before it could use the calander control

@echo off
cls
