>>I'm using the MS Calendar Control in my VFP 5.0a app - MSCAL.OCX. It says "MS Calendar Control 8.0" on the ActiveX controls toolbar when I add it to the form. On the properties sheet it says MS.Calendar.7.

One ONE machine, when the calendar pops up, it is missing the month/year selector. I've had him manually copy a new version of MSCAL.OCX into the SYSTEM32 directory (and make sure there are no other MSCAL.OCX's floating around). Same problem.

This is a real PITA, since I want to ship the app to a bunch of different sites, but the calendar control is a vital part of it, and I've got to figure out what is going and and fix it.

I found a solution to the problem, thanks to someone on the MS Foxpro news server. In the INIT of the calendar control, I had to set the properties I wanted (such as the month and year selectors and days of the week headings. I could not rely on having set them in the designer. Now it works fine.
