Hi,

I'd also like to do what lillywhite asked but can't figure out where the
monthview object comes from - can you perhaps give me some pointers.
Thanks, Rob

Put a monthview control on your worksheet near the cell you want to enter
the date into. Set it's visible property to false.

In this case when the user enters cell A6 the monthview will become
visible.
When the user double clicks on the date they want A6 will now have that
date
and the monthview will hide itself.

In the sheets code window paste the following code:

Private Sub MonthView1_DblClick()
With MonthView1
ActiveCell.Value = .Value
.Visible = False
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Application.Intersect(Target, Range("B6"))
With MonthView1
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
.Visible = True
.Top = Target.Top
.Left = Target.Left
Else
.Visible = False
End If
End With
End Sub




Sorry about that, my bad! I think that Monthview is a control that is
installed with Visual Basic 6. You can use the Calendar Control in the same
fashion:

Private Sub Calendar1_DblClick()
With Calendar1
ActiveCell.Value = .Value
.Visible = False
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Application.Intersect(Target, Range("B6"))
With Calendar1
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
.Visible = True
.Top = Target.Top
.Left = Target.Left
Else
.Visible = False
End If
End With
End Sub
