Hi,

I'm trying to use the calendar tool in Forms under the VBAProject so that
the years dropdown list only displays the years 2005 and 2006 (instead of all
years from 1900 thru to 2100). Is there a way to limit the years to only 2005
and 2006?

If not, is there a way to display an error message so that the user can be
told to enter a date between 2005 and 2006 if they don't? I've got a
validation check but this seems to have no effect when the date is entered
using the pop-up calendar tool.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

If you use it on a worksheet you can do this

Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
If Year(Calendar1.Value) = 2005 Or Year(Calendar1.Value) = 2006 Then
ActiveCell.Value = CDbl(Calendar1.Value)
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"
ActiveCell.Select
Else
MsgBox "Select a date in 2005/2006"
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("A1:A20"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Calendar1.Left = Target.Left + Target.Width - Calendar1.Width
Calendar1.Top = Target.Top + Target.Height
Calendar1.Visible = True
' select Today's date in the Calendar
Calendar1.Value = Date
Else: Calendar1.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
