I'm sorry, dates are NOT showing.

I cannot see any dates in MS Access. I know they are there, but they are not visible. This is something I have never come across before. I don't know if it's this machine, this version of Access, or a bad dream. Has anyone ever had this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a problem with viewing dates on my activeX calendar controls on certain machines. Is that what you are talking about?

Everyone has to have the ActiveX calendar for Access installed on their computer.  This is an option on the installation and most people do not select it.  Merely go to the control panel and click Add/Remove programs.  Select Access and add the control.  It may prompt you for a setup disk if installed individually.

You'll need to be more specific. When you say you can't "see" any dates, do you mean that they won't display in forms, reports, table views? Can you just make a field on a form that's unbound whos data source is "=Date()" and show anything? Does anything show up in the field where the dates are suposed to display, like "#Error" or "#Name"?

Hey Doogie-

I cannot view dates in forms, reports, or tables. I do not see #error nor #Name, I just don't see anything at all. If I use a function such as: Month([StartDate]) I can pull the number of the month that is in the tables, but for some reason all data in Date format is not visible.
