I have a form that is in Continuous form. In each record there is a
button next to the a date box. When the button is pushed, the calendar
control is set to visible (rather than in a seperate pop up form).
The problem is that makes the calendar visible for every record, not
just the current record.
Does anyone know of a way to set the calendar's visible property to
true such that it is visible only in one record rather than all of the
records? Or am I going to have to use a PopUp form with a calendar on
it?
Thanks,

The short, standard answer is: no - you cannot do this. In a continuous
form, each textbox is a 'copy' of the first, so if one is visible they are
all visible, if one has 12pt font then they all do. Could you imagine a
continuous form where you could have the font as 12pt for all but one which
had 24pt? Continuous forms don't work like this.
However, one option you do have in Access 2000 and above is conditional
formatting. By setting the colours appropriately, you could make it appear
that a textbox was invisible for all but the current record. So if this
calandar display was made up of native Access controls, then you could do
this. But I would opt for the popup route.
