>>I can't seem to get the new 6.0 active-x DTPicker control to display the full four digit year. I've played with the .CustomFormat and Format (which only appears in the controls property dialog) properties to no avail. I'd like to show all four year digits.

Thanks.......I couldn't find any instructions on how to set the CustomFormat property anywhere so I was guessing and would not have thought of mixed case.
