Hi Nick,
It's been a while since I abandoned the MS ActiveX datepicker control, however, if my memory is good, it complained about empty/null date values (something I needed to have). In addition, it didn't work properly in a grid (although this is probably the case with most ActiveX controls).
The VFPdatepicker in the download area solved both of these problems for me.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mike
P.S. Now I can say that I once communicated via email with a guy who knows a guy who knows the "real" Nick Mason :)
