I am trying to use the Active X control that shows a range of dates that you can choose from.

I have an unbound box that I want the date choosen from the date control to show. My prblem is the first time I choose a date it works fine but if I change the date it does not update the unbound box with the new info. I have used got focus event.

Are you using the calendar control?

If so, go into the code for the form it is on and add

Private Sub NameofCalendar_OnClick()
Me.NameofTxtBox = Me.NameofCalendar.Value
End Sub
The OnClick event is not available via the event properties, so you have to add it manually.

Thanks, for the above info, helped me out as well. Further on that.. is there any way to have the first(or any) day selected when a new month or year is selected from the pulldown menu? or at least update the textbox when that happens?
