DateTime Picker Control

[shamas21]

Hi All

I have moved my Acces 2007 from my lapto to my Home PC.

I can no longer use my DTPicker (Microsoft Date Time Picker) which looks like a combo box until you click it.

Now that i have moved it i cant get the

"No object found", how can i use this date time picker?

Thanks

Have you registed the ocx on your laptop

You need to register the mscomctl2.ocx in your system32 folder

A quick search of DTpicker or mscomctl2.ocx in this forum will show that I have had problems with this ocx as well.

You will see that I was told that activex controls can be trouble and should be avoided. After working with the DTpicker for a long time I eventually removed it from my project. (and sent a thank you to the person that initially gave me this advice)(it would have been one of the regulars of this forum)

I know this does not answer your question but if you want to save yourself a lot of work - remove them - fix your form and you will never have to worry about it again.

I feel it worth warning you that the registering and unregistering of these dlls/OCX things also stuff up your registry - I stuffed mine up which is why i do not use DTpicker anymore.

That said one possible fix is to install this

Was this file never on your home computer? Was it never registered before?

If yes then Ok your path to pain and loss of hair has not even started.

To register it (assuming XP)

open your explorer to system 32 folder.
go to start > run > type in cmd
you will get a black window.
the path there most likely will match the path to system32 folder.

then type

regsrv32 mscomctl2.ocx

to unregister

regsrv32 /u mscomctl2.ocx

If you are on useless Vista then you need to open the black window as administrator. Either right click on cmd.exe and run as administrator or I think hold down ctr-shift and click on the .exe. see here http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/...th-administrator-privileges-in-windows-vista/

Hi

I really appreiciate your help on this but it still doesnt work...

1. I have gone to cmd black screen and it comes up with c:\windows\system32\cmd.32 as the path.

2. I type in regsrv32 mscomctl2.ocx

3. It comes up with the message saying "regsrv32 is not recognized as an internal command, operable program or batch file".

Please can you help?

Are you sure that folder is correct? Is that were this OCX is saved?

I may not have been clear in explaining this to you so here

I had the same problem, try using Calendar Control in ActiveX instead, seems to be on more computers/packages than the DateTime Picker one.

its

regsrv32.exe mscomctl2.ocx
