Calendar control problem

[Ricky1946]

Hello,
I am unable to insert the date from a calendar control into a form text box. It seems that it does enter into the underlying table but will not show on the form. I have a seperate form that the calendar is on and a button that opens the form where the date is selected after which the calendar form is closed. This puts the date into the underlying table field but not on the window.
Any suggestions?

Regards
Ian

A suggestion - don't use the Calendar Control. Sure, it can work fine but bloats the front-end of your db. You can find a Access-form-based solution that mimics the calendar control very well at

http://www22.brinkster.com/accessory/forms/005.shtml

- this also includes a worked example of how to use the calendar to update your form/table data, and is available in A97 and A2000+ versions.

Hope this is helpful.

It looks good and I have downloaded the file. I will be looking at it later. Many thanks for your prompt reply.

Hello again mp9,
I have had a look and installed this, but I am having problems which I am conversing with the creator with. Slowly getting there though.
Thanks for your suggestions.
