Has the calendar's VALUE prop data type or something else also changed in 6.0 or the new ocx? I have a couple related questions in addition if you have time to respond:

Ken,

5.0 and 6.0 can cpoexist on the same machine quite well, I have them both installed and do use both of them.

A 6.0 install will replace certain dll's with newer versions.

The Value property for the calendar 8.0 control wants a date value, for example;

Thisform.OLEControl1.Object.Value = {^1999/01/01}
