Calendar Problem (1 Viewer)

[daverskully]

I am looking to place a calendar in a form. I am using access 2000. When I go to calendar control in ActiveX Control, the options are: Close, Regiser.., Unregister. When I click register it opens up a window where I can choose a control, when I choose the calendar control from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office and hit OK, nothing happens.

Why not use a non activeX calendar instead? No versioning issues and they do not take up valuable real estate on your form.

I just began looking into making a calendar, all examples I've seen so far were based around using an active X control, I just assumed this is what most people used. If you could show me how to implement a non activeX calendar it would be amazing. What I'm looking to do with the calendar is to have it so that when a date is selected, this value is entered into the date field.
Thanks for any help you can provide

Download one of those links on Jeff's site. They include a sample db that shows how to use the calendar. I've used them for years and they are designed to do just what you want. Allen Browne's calendar even works from a SubForm.
