When you use A2007, the date picker is automatically placed next to all fields defined as dates. For earlier versions, you need to use the activeX control included with Access or a custom built control that you can download from a website. To use the included control, drop down the list of ActiveX controls from the toolbar. Choose the "Calendar Control" which will be suffixed by its version number. This is not an obvious control to use so try to find an example and copy that as your base form.
 
Thank you for the information. I appreciated.

Interesting side note with the 'Date Picker' - if you apply an input mask to the date field the Date Picker will not display anymore.

I found this because I had a couple of existing date fields that were input masked, but obvioulsy didn't show the Date Picker, and I couldn't tell the difference between these and the new field that I added in an attempt to use the date picker - until I removed the input mask, that is.

Cheers,...Jon.

BTW - if anyone does know how to use the date picker with an input masked field it would be much appreciated. :confused:
