Default Date Time Picker ActiveX Control Version 6.0 (SP3)

Hi Jim

I would also be very interested it is a brilliant control - I am using Excel
2003 on my home PC I have the control and on my work PC I do not. Points of
note though - the object lives in the System32 folder and Microsoft have a
download (as I am sure your aware) but how could you deploy the control over
a network without visiting every single computer given the users would not
have access rights to add to a system folder?
Also, given the difficulties of working with dates (Well I have problems -
anyway!) why did Microsoft remove the control in the first place? Available
in 97 I believe.

Interested

It works great for me, however when I send the Excel File to other users
who
do not have Excel XP or 2003, they do not have the ActiveX Controls to
make
it work.

Is there an easy way to point them to a link, where they can download the
ActiveX Controls necessary for the Date Time Picker?

Thanks
