Hi Doru.....

I guess I just don't get ole controls quite yet. Your note mentioned that both controls have a value property of type datetime. How do you use it and where is it?

It is not listed in the properties list for those controls and when I tried to assign the result of the users pick (m_datetime = thisform.olecontrol1.value) I get a vaule property not found error.

I like the date time picker a little more (as far as looks) than the calendar.
I'm trying to give the user this functionality.

1)Double click date field to bring up picker (This I've figured out!!!)
2)Double click on date once it is found any in doing that.... a)close picker (I've got that too) and insert date and time in field...(this I do not have!)

3) I want the time part of the datetime to be the current clock time. (what you addressed in your first reply)

I've managed to figure out some of it.... the part of getting the selection into the field with the picker is what I can't get.

In playing around with it the calendar control seems to put it in the field just fine but I sometimes need it to work with a variable and not a field.

Thanks for your thoughts......
