Help with MSCAL 7 calendar control

Hello,

I am making use of the Active X calendar control (mscal.Calendar .7) in
several places in my main form, with the following code

Below is an example of the code I'm using for the controls.

Private Sub DateSold_MouseD own(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As
Single, Y As Single)
SoldCal.Visible = True
SoldCal.SetFocu s
If Not IsNull(DateSold ) Then
SoldCal.Value = DateSold.Value
Else
SoldCal.Value = Date
End If
End Sub

My question is this:

How do I get out of the calendar control if it is inadvertently clicked on?
Currently, if the control is clicked on, the calendar is displayed, and
there is absolutely no way of making it dissappear without choosing a date.
Even if I focus on another control in the form, the calendar control still
remains visible.

Sometimes the field will be empty (i.e. in the code above, the DateSold
field will only contain a date if the item has actually been sold

What I would like to have:

A) is to be able to hit the escape key, or click outside the control, on
the background, or on another control, and have the calendar control
dissappear and leave the original (sometimes blank) value in the control.

B) Pop a message box up asking me "Change Date?" Y N. If No is clicked, the
calendar control will close leaving the original value

Thanks!

Good morning: I created a data entry form that has been working well, and needed to redesign it. The form is called, and now the first field to be filled in is a date using the MSCAL.Calendar.7 ActiveXCtl. The calendar presently displays the current date. The first time the user enters the date on the form, the date resets to the current date, and the user must re-enter the new date. I also note that upon entering the form, the new...

First, let me start by saying my asp.net experience is still in it's infancy so please bare with me as I try to explain my situation.

My Access 97 database is on a public network so it can be accessed by a dozen users. On my computer the Active X calendar shows the GridFont as 8 pt. On some user's computers the gridfont size is 1.5 and cannot be read by the human eye. HELP! Why does it read perfectly on my computer but not on user's computers? I can go into a user's computer and change the font setting on the calendar property to 8 and then it works. Can I set that...

Hey all, How do I set the default date of my MSCAL.Calendar.7 calendar to today's date? I have it on one of my forms so that an employee can click on a given date and bring up the records form there. I just want the data to automatically be today's date, instead of having to click the desired date (which in almost all cases will be the current day's date). Thanks in advance, James

Hey guys, I'm using MSCAL.Calendar.7 to allow the user to select a date and time in an Access application which is used across a network. The application uses Access 2003 as the frontend with SQLServer 2000 as the backend. On most machines (including the one I am developing on) the months and days are correctly displayed in English. However, on some machines the are displaying in German. I thought it may be caused by some machines having...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
