You're right. There isn't an Office button in 2003. It was introduced at
2007.

And in reply to the second part of your message, to use an add-in you do
need to have the add-in installed and enabled.

It's always wise to quote in your message the relevant parts of the message
to which you are replying, as otherwise (for example) we don't know what you
mean by "step one".

For the benefit of anyone else who is trying to decipher what you may have
meant, looking at the headers of your message I see that the message to
which you replied, but from which you snipped the entire content, was
, which reads as follows:

"Yes. Excel 2007.

1) Office Button/Excel Options/Popular/Top options for working with Excel -
Check box Show Developer tab in Ribbon
2) Click Developer Tab
3) In Controls group click Insert
4) In Active X controls click on the bottom rightmost icon - More controls
5) Select Calendar Control 12.0 and click OK
6) Draw a box on the spreadsheet about 10 rows high and 5 columns wide
7) Right click on the calendar and select Properties
8) Change LinkedCell (blank) to be the cell you want the date to be in (A1,
G6 for example)
9) Click Design Mode in Controls group to exit Design Mode and have the
calendar work
10) Click on a date in the calendar and you should see that date in the cell
you entered in step 8
11) To make further changes click Developer tab, Controls group, Design
Mode, Click the calendar and change whatever

I am setting up a spreadsheet as a form. One of the cells will contain a
date the form was filled in. I would like to make it easy on the user by
making a small calendar popup when they click on the date cell. Then, the
only need to click on a date in the calendar and it will insert it.
Airline
reservation sites do this a lot.

Anyone know how to do this in Excel 2007? "

I guess this doesn't work for Excel 2003? I guess this sounds stupid but I
can not find the "Office Button" in step one. I am hoping it is b/c it
doesn't exist with 2003 and that I am not being a total idiot.

I had used another method where you download the add-in from Ron de Bruin,
and it works on the spreadsheet I created, however, when I sent it to
someone else the calendar pulldown does NOT appear. I presume this is b/c
they'd have to download the add-in too?

Thanks for your help !!!
