dtpicker field blank

7 New Member
Hey Guys,

I have an issue with a dtpicker field in one of my forms. I developed this form using Access 2003 and everything works fine. Recently, I've been asked to deploy this database to secondary office. The version of Access loaded on each workstation in the seconday office is Acces 2003 as well.

The Active X control for the dtpicker in my development copy is Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP4). The version of this control in the secondary office is SP6. So I know this is probably where the issue lies in.

When I implemented the database, the users in the secondary office did not have a problem. They can see the date field and select the appropriate dates. The issue occurs when I compact and repair the database on their local server. The compact and repair seems to wipe out that control or field and the form is left with a blank area where the date field used to be.

Does anyone know how to get the right version of this control and how to register etc.?

Thanks!

SP6 is a later version, but you should be able to use your version provided it is registered on each machine that is having a problem.
Try to register it, try:

regsvr32 "C:\Windows\Sys tem\mscomct2.oc x"

to avoid problems like this, I recommend you not use an activeX. Instead, use a calendar control created from a native ms access form. See below.

blees10,

Did you figure out what the problem was?. I am having the same issue. I also have control version SP6. I have tried to register it also, but I am still having the problem.

Thanks,

Hello, in my project, i use a form with Microsoft's Dte Picker Control (MSComCtl2.DTPicker.2). This control is linked up to a date field of a table.

Hi, everyone I'm building an Access DB system using VBA. I have a ActiveX DTPicker so the user can select a date. This date is put in another textbox that is bound to a table. I do this because if I make the DTPicker bound to the table then the date keeps changing to the current date (or the date that was last selected) when I scroll through the records on the form. I just made the DTPicker so small that only the dropdown arrow is visible...

I have a form which has a dtPicker control with a checkbox. The user checks or unchecks the box to indicate whether or not the date should be utilized. My problem is that the user would prefer to have the box unchecked by default. I cannot seem to find any properties that would allow me to do so. Does anybody know how to accomplish this?

Hi, I am developing a simple application in VB. I have one DTPicker on my form. If the value of DTPicker is not mindate of DTPicker, It should not be allow us to enter any value earlier than the exitsing value of DTPicker. Ex: My DTPicker value is : 1/15/2008 It should not allow any date which is earlier than 1/15/2008 (like 1/14/2008).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
