>Depends on which version of VFP. A different version of the Calendar OCX came with VFP5. This version handles each part of the date separately -- a property for the Month, Day and Year. Download the CalendarX.zip file from the Files/VCX section to see how I coded to handle this version.

I use VFP 5.0a. I'll have a look at your solution.
thanks again,
