Now I hit another interesting problem and I could give up even w/o binding :)
>The problem is that I couldn't set it to an empty date yet (.null. didn't work). In help it gives a range starting from year 1753. If this is the case how VBers have an empty date using this ? Set forecolor, backcolor to same ? I'd appreciate any help on this.

That's the reason we couldn't use it bound to a date field. It is supposed to accept a null, but it validates the null... however, the min and max caqn not be set to null so you have a catch 22-... This control can ONLY be used if you ALWAYS have a date in it... Perhaps to define report ranges, etc.

We reported this as a bug, but never got a response from good ole MS.
