Calendar control doesn't work on some machines
 

Hi

I have installed the Excel calendar on an Excel worksheet where it works
fine, however when the same worksheet is distributed to other users this
control either doesn't come up at all, or it comes up but without the
calendar dates being visible.

The worksheet is not protected, nor does it have any merged cells on it.

Can anyone tell me the cause of the problem and how to cure it?

In your workbook VBA add a reference to the Microsoft Calendar Object x.0.
Tools\References and put a check next to the reference. Save your book and
re-distribute. I believe the calendar object is activated on the machine
from Access and if that machine did not install Access than it does not know
what the object is yet. By using a reference to it in your book, the other
machines will know how to use the object.

Thanks for the information Mike, but I have already checked the Microsoft
Calendar Control 11.0 under Tools/References in my workbook. The problem is
possibly occuring on machines without Access installed. Is there any other
way of circumventing this - maybe by the use of code?

NOTE: The Calendar Control is an ActiveX control (actually a file called
mscal.ocx) supplied with Microsoft Office. It is normally installed with a
standard installation of Microsoft Office Professional or Microsoft Access,
but if you can't find it on the list you will need to get hold of a copy. If
you are distributing your file, or planning to use it on more than one
computer, you will also need to make sure that the host computer has the
mscal.ocx file installed. You will find it on the CD that your copy of
Microsoft Office Professional came on, or you can download a copy from here.

mscal.ocx ActiveX Calendar Control file.]

Thanks for your help Mike. I'll try this on the problem machines.
