Doug,

>Kind of weird... but my control isn't disabled. I've tried just directly dropping an OLE Control and selected the Date/Time Picker and that didn't work. I've tried creating a class that is an OLE Control where I selected the Date/Time Picker and then dropped that on the toolbar and that didn't work either. I also have a class that dynamically creates the Date/Time Picker control at run time (work around so that I always know that I won't have a conflict with my control in regards to versions), and I dropped this on the toolbar with the same result.

Doug,
For a quick test to your question all I did was :
-Create a class based on toolbar
-From controls select activex
-Drag&drop dtpicker on toolbar and size it a little
-Save
-Create a test form with a custom oToolbar property
-In init added code
this.oToolbar = newobject("myToolbar","myTest.vcx")
this.oToolbar.show()
I ran it afterwards and I could dropdown and select dates.
Do you use a container for it ? If so you might need to size conatiner dynamically. If it "seems" to be working try to press arrows for a couple of times and press enter. The date it shows should change if that's a "viewport" problem. It happened to me with container and now I size my container calculating where on the form it could expand.
