Any one know where to by an activex calculator that say works like the one in Quicken99 eg. click on it, and it drops down ready for use like a combo box or ms activeX calender?<br>Thank you in advance!<br>charlie
 
No, but you can call the windows Calculator using Shell<br>' Specifying 1 as the second argument opens the application in <br>' normal size and gives it the focus.<br>Dim RetVal<br>RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE", 1)   ' Run Calculator.<br><br>Then Press Ctrl-C which will take the result and put it in the clipboard which could then be pasted in your app.<br>Also look at "Sendkeys" function which might let you automate the Ctrl-C process further.<br>
