=====Register the control:
you can register the ocx file yourself.

It should be is MSCAL.OCX in the Windows/sytem directory


Go to Start=Run from the windows taskbar

type this to register the OCX

regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system\mscal.ocx

to unregister

regsvr32.exe /u c:\windows\system\mscal.ocx

Once you do that, you can create a reference to the control in Excel in the
VBE in Tools=References

Hi Stefano,

You could try calling this function to see if the Calendar control is
installed on the client machine:

Public Function bCalCtlInstalled() As Boolean
Dim objCal As Object

On Error Resume Next

Set objCal = CreateObject("MSCAL.Calendar")
bCalCtlInstalled = Not objCal Is Nothing
Set objCal = Nothing
End Function

Jake Marx

Thanks for the tips, code works great. Need to investigate how to use the
mscal.ocx control, presumably it has a properties that can be used in VBA
code
Cheers

IsDate(Textbox1.Text)

or:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim DtVal As Date
DtVal = 0
On Error Resume Next
DtVal = CDate(TextBox1.Text)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not DtVal = 0 Then
Label1.Caption = "Good Date"
Else
Label1.Caption = "Bad DAte"
End If
End Sub

as an example.

Look at the Calendar Control

mscal.ocx I believe. It might be available in the VBE under tools=
Additional controls (available when you userform has the focus)

1. I have a number of userform textbox controls that are designated as
dates
(European Format dd/mm/yy). What is the best method of validating
date
entry?

2. Related to 1 above, are there any active-x controls that I can use
to
display a calendar that pops up when the user enters the textbox that
requires a date to be entered?

TIA

Nigel
