Default DTPicker control missing (Win XP/Excel 2007)

Would this be the MSCOMCT2.OCX that's listed as *Microsoft Date and Time
Picker Control 6.0*, and located in the Windows\System32 folder? The
version I have is SP6 because it was updated when I install VS6 SP6, but
yours might be a different version if it wasn't updated when you installed
Office12. Note that dispite it's descriptive name it doesn't have any
visible time picking features, just a dropdown arrow to display its
calendar.


I searched my system32 folder and only found MSCOMCTL.OCX,
not MSCOMCT2.OCX.

Do you think I'm missing the DTPicker control because I'm using
the trial version (12.0.6683.5002) SP3 MSO (12.0.6683.5000)?

What's annoying about this is that I bought and activated the trial version
way back in 2008 or so. I have a new computer since then, and trying
to reinstall Office in a new PC has been difficult. I tried calling the
Microsoft India hotline, in which they were able to remotely control
my desktop. They claimed that my (new) computer had errors and
said they could fix my software for a low price of $200. Um, fix
what? Didn't I pay for this software already? Haha. Sorry, I just
wanted to vent a little bit.


Another control I found listed is Calendar Control 12.0 (MSCAL.OCX)
located in the Office11 folder.


Yes, I found the Calendar Control 12.0, but I was hoping to use
the DTPicker control because I designed my app around this back in
2008.
