Datepicker not appearing on Bound Control

[ojeffery]

I have two versions of the same form, one for creating a new record, and one for viewing it once it's created.

Both forms have a textbox called Date, which are identical except for one is Unbound and one is bound to the Date field from a table.

The Datepicker only appears on the Unbound textbox - if I unbind the textbox on the viewing form, it reappears.

Why is this? Is there any way of getting a datepicker to appear on a bound text box, or would I have to use a custom calendar control?

You should not use "Date" to name fields or objects - http://allenbrowne.com/AppIssueBadWord.html

What datatype is your table field "date"?
Is the format property of the textbox set to some value correponding to a date ?

Hi Spikel.

Date was set as Text rather than Date/Time. That's sorted now.
