Calendar Control in Textbox Control

[LaBam]

Please help.

I have a textbox control to input a date. I want to make it such that instead of typing into it, a calendar dropdown is displayed whenever the textbox is clicked so that the user can select a date from it and this date is transfered into the textbox. How do i go about this problem?

Instead of using a dropdown, consider using the built in ActiveX calendar. Search this forum for some ideas or on the MS site.

A Demo is on its way

Now we've placed the Calendar in the form but we want it to populate the combo box i.e on clicking the combo we select the date and the date should be displayed on the text box of the combo(which will be subsiquently be transfered to the form's table).

Why does it have to populate a combo? If you use the calendar to set the value in the textbox you do not need a combo. To store the date, just make the textbox bound to the field you want it stored in by setting the controlsource to that field.
Try to follow the same thread if it is related to your previous problem so that people can follow the full conversation.

PS can you send back a copy of the demo I sent you as I am unable to access my usual PC which it is stored on.
