Calendar Pop-Up Version

[GirlGeek]

Help!

I just created a calendar pop-up for data entry in Access Version 2002 and it does not work with Access 2003. Any help from anybody would be appreciated!

Searching is such a novel idea.

I advise you to not use the ActiveX calander control. Too many problems with the users PC having missing references to the control.

Check out these custom Access calanders for you can import them right into your database...

Popup Calendar - Version 3

I prefer the authors first calendar because I do not want the fancy three months options. Here is the link to that one... Popup Calendar

Love These Access Forums

I did search.

Thanks for the link but I have already set it up with the MS Active X Calendar.

I think I fixed the problem on my own.

It is well worth the change away from the ActiveXcalendar. I use this one:

Popup Calendar - Version 3 - is absolutely the best and the easiest to use!!!!! Thank you ghudson and thanks to the developer of calendar Denys Brock!!!!!!

I see how to import the calendar but there are no instructions as to how to actually make it work. Clueless here.

Place this in the OnClick event of your button to open [call] the calander I mentioned above...

=opencalendar("","YourTextBoxNameHere")

You can also just copy the calander button as is from the sample form into your db so that you still have the same calander graphic for your button. It is that easy.

Thank You

Finally got this calendar to work and I must say thanks to all who encouraged me to avoid the Active X calendar from Microsoft. Works like a charm, with no error messages.

What is the best way to get a popup calendar on a DAP?

I used the Popup Calendar (Access 2000) sample from the Utter Access Forum (http://www.utteraccess.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=48&Number=340559). It seems awesome - I simply copy and pasted the modCalendar, frmCalendar and the calendar graphic from his form onto mine! But I can't figure the last step out. How do you make it store the date that populates in your field into that specific record/field on a table?
