One of the items on my form is a textbox that is used to enter a date that updates a field in a table. Is there a way to have a calendar pop up when you click in the textbox that allows you to click on a date to populate the textbox? An example would be the arrival date box on a airline or hotel reservation page.
 
Perhaps the sample posted here is the sort of thing you are looking for?

John, I like the way that works and looks, but how do you GET them on the form to start with. When I add the date field to the form it does not put the calendar beside it automatically. (did manage to get it there once but not sure how and was never able to do it again)
 
ozzy68,

What version of Access are you using?

The capability you are looking for is built-in starting in Access 2007.
 
I am using 2010. I am pulling the fields onto the form using "Add existing field"
 
Thanks,

As soon as I removed the Input Mask the calendar's showed up.
 
Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned that you cannot have an Input Mask defined for the controls where you want to use the popup calendar.

Glad you got it working.
 
Mr.B,
Thanks for the reply, I am restricted to using Access 2003 where I work but I was able to get it working the way I wanted. I keep telling them they need to upgrade to at least 2007 because it would make life much easier in regard to working in Access...maybe some day...
