Martha,

It looks like Office is trying to be self healing, it's detecting a change in the ocx signature and wanting to get back to what it thinks is right. This whole technique may not work any longer.

Might I suggest an alternate calendar control? *g* It's not really that hard to build something in native VFP controls, there's probably even a few in the files section here. For dates I really like using the Quicken-like textbox I created a long time ago you can get it from my website.

THEN, when entering the program and attempting to select a date with the calendar we received the following (nightmare!)...

I'm tempted to try copying the one we want into the directory of the one it's trying to use, but am not sure it will be recognized correctly. Please stop the insanity!!!
