Step by step how to open a popup calendar on the main form?

I have a Main Form, then a subform. There is a date field in the
Subform that I want to be able to click on it, and a VBCalendar popup
in the main form for me to choose a date (I don't want it on the
subform because there is not enough space). After the date is chosen,
it will be send back to the subform. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Perry

One possible solution would be to change the Date field in the subform to a
ActiveX control. The Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control is very user
friendly. Go to Menu/Insert/ActiveX Control and scroll down to Microsoft
Date and Time Picker Control. The control is a popup and uses the same space
as the date field.

Thanks... I did not know that existed! Well... just one little
problem... how to I get it to throw the value into my field? Or is
there a way to convert my date field into a ActiveX Date/Time field?

If you don't like ActiveX controls (because you would have to
distribute them to all your users and register them), you could use
the code from the Access Developer Handbook... but that would be a bit
more work.
