Gee, I don't know... any idea what this mark on my arm is? You mean
you can't see it? Well, I can't see your code either. That would help
a lot.

re: Compiler error: A module is not a valid type.

Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
'Dim cboOriginator As ComboBox
Public Sub setDate(cboDateComponent As ComboBox, ocxCalendar As
Calendar, cboOriginator As ComboBox)
Set cboOriginator = cboDateComponent
ocxCalendar.Visible = True
ocxCalendar.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(cboDateComponent) Then
ocxCalendar = cboOriginator
Else
ocxCalendar = Date
End If
End Sub

The commented out line should be put into a Form module.
Thanks

ACK!!tiveX.. YECH! Use something like the Calendar in ADH (choose your
version). Works great and NO ActiveX controls to register.
http://www.developershandbook.com/
I think the code is there. Splurge and buy the book. Well worth the
money.

Their code has a function that returns a date that you choose from a
calendar form. And it WORKS. (Without ActiveX controls =) )

Not to belittle the Access Developer's Handbook, because I have a copy of
every version and as Michka might say, "I'd rather slide down a giant razor
blade into a vat of iodine than give up any copy."

But MVP Arvin Meyer, at http://www.datastrat.com and MVP Stephen Lebans, at
http://www.lebans.com both have free, downloadable calendars that use only
Access' built-in features and functions. They, too, work and do not require
an ActiveX.

re: Compiler error: A module is not a valid type.

Do you have a module called Calendar or ComboBox?

In case, you should fully describe the declarations:

'Dim cboOriginator As access.ComboBox
Public Sub setDate( _
cboDateComponent As access.ComboBox, _
ocxCalendar As ?????.Calendar, _
cboOriginator As Access.ComboBox)
