Help please! Calendar controls obscured when viewed on colleague's PC

[BadSikander]

Can anyone help please?

I have a database that uses pop-up calendar controls on many of its forms.

On my computer, the calendars all look normal when they appear. However, a colleague who has started using the database never sees the calendars appear properly.

The calendar control pops up, but is either:

obscured and mostly blacked out,

or, on some forms, it appears but only the days are showing, and the month and year drop down selectors are missing.

I am pretty sure we are both using the same version of Windows and Access, and everything else in the database seems to look and behave identically on each of our computers.

The database is split, with the FE saved locally and the BE held on our shared drive.

From my colleagues computer, the problem with the calendars happens with both the MDE version of the FE saved locally and the master MDB version of the FE held on the shared drive. As I said, I have no problems with either from my PC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Actually, never mind.

On reflection, I think we must be using different versions of Access after all, so I'll use one of the alternative calendars posted elsewhere to get around the problem.

Thanks anyway.

I'm having the exact same issue. My Calendar Control 11.0 displays perfectly on my screen, but on my team member's screen it is not displaying correctly. She can't even see the days of the week, they are not visible.

Is it a graphics card problem? We both have Access 2003, so it's not a version issue.

Since it's ACC2003, I suppose you have to look at whether the misbehaving PC has SP3 installed! I haven't seen reports of this being a bug in SP3, but it's produced so many that one more wouldn't be surprising!
