>>>>>>Cannot get a calendar to work with a new Vista laptop.

It works fine on XP and every copy of Vista except for a new laptop just purchased my one of my customers. The error says it cannot find the OCX control. I uninstalled and reinstalled the client and the problem did not change. Anyone know where I should be looking to fix this? I did not look in the windows folder to see if it was there as my remote connection was very bad at the time.

Namoi,
thanks for the advice. I checked out the Paul Mrozowski site and downloaded the calendar and it looked promising. Then I decided to check something and found the root of my problem. After I added the MSCOMCT2.OCX to my Inno Setup script I never compiled it. (Must have been one of those days.) I had been shipping the install program without it so of course VFP could not find it. Uploaded the new setup.exe and all is now good.
