>FWIW, here's the way I do it -- I created a little form called GetCalendarDate which has the calendar control on it, plus an OK and a CANCEL button. The form accepts an optional date parameter as the starting date, otherwise it defaults to DATE( ). The form's unload event returns the date the user chose, or the starting date if they clicked CANCEL.

>To use it on a form, I usually put a small command button with a graphcial calendar icon next to each date field on the form. The click event of the command button does a "DO FORM GetCalendarDate WITH [optional date parameter] TO [the date field.value]" so the return value ends up in your date field text box. GetCalendarDate needs to be modal so this will work.

>The code in the click event of the command button needs to be changed to point to the correct date field (the TO parameter) in each case. But the GetCalendarDate form itself works as a black box.
