Date/Time Picker (Calendar) control 1

[TheInsider]

Hi,
Incase you have not seen this in the "Calendar Control" thread; I would like to recommend a great ActiveX control that you can use in your forms. It is called the DateTimePicker control. It looks like a combo box in that it displays the date (which you can type in) but also has a drop down feature/portion that displays a calendar which allows you to pick the date too. I found one that is both free and has a control source property. You can download this control from:

http://www.mvps.org/ccrp/download/ccrpdownloads.htm

It is the Date/Time Picker (VB5 version). Don't worry about having VB5... you simply want the &quot;ccrpDtp.ocx&quot; file contained in the zip file. Just register this in Access. You can type in the date, use the arrow keys to change the individual parts of the date, or you can use the drop down calendar portion. This is a really great control!
