Hello. I have six Excel 2003 workbooks that I maintain that are used
throughout the U.S. by our company. Well, we are updating to Excel
2007 so I am making sure that everything is going to work when we
switch.

I opened all the workbooks in Excel 2007, and then saved them as
"Excel Macro-Enabled Workbooks". I noticed that the file sizes on
each dropped alot.

Since I have a little room now, I want to add more bells and whistles
than I had in Excel 2003.

So on the sheets where the user enters a date, I selected Calendar
Control 12.0 and changed the LinkedCell Property to the cell.

But these controls are always visible. On some of the worksheets,
there are 4 dates entered, so I need 4 calendar controls (!)

Is there a way to keep each of these hidden until I click on the
LinkedCell?

Thanks for the help!

You don't need four Calendar Controls.

One Calendar Control that is triggered by a selection change event within a
pre-set range of your choice.
