>>Thanks Larry, will try it out. I was also unable to set the current date or a user defined date to the calendar. I could do it in VB but not in VFP ie. where the date to be displayed is manually and shows up on the control.

On two machines, it appears that they were using MSACAL70.OCX, and mine didn't get installed. But setting all the desired parameters (and I mean ALL) in the INIT of the control solved the problem.

Yes Larry. That'd be useful - if only to see what props to setup (you say all)in the init.

Also Could you show me how to set the calendar default date to a specific date?
Not DATE() but lets say the user selected 25 OCT 1998, DATE returns 18 Jan 1999.
I want to set the calendar to display 25 Oct the next time it pops up.

Thanks
