It took me a while to figure out what I was doing wrong using your instructions. I finally understood the error message with its hint when I clicked on the ActiveX button.

In Access 2007, you must read the "Message Bar" to clear a Control.

After I learned that "tiny" bit, the Date box loaded, but it was large and not attached to the Field I wanted.

Will post again when I get it right or ask for more help. For now, thanks.
