See if the instructions at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/datepick.htm are any
clearer to you.

Ken thanks for the help, however no luck! makes no sense to me :(....i copied
that code into the open event handler (dont know if thats all i had to do?)
but when i run the form it gives me the error message saying i need to
install the active calendar from the library. But im pretty sure it is
installed, the MS date picker is in my toolbox, i put it there, and ive
dragged it onto my form so that means its obviously installed yeh?

You also need to follow the instructions that are just before the code. If
you are getting that error it sounds like the control isn't correctly
registered on your computer. I don't know which calendar control you're
using but try to register it manually using a regsvr32 command line. See if
that helps and look at the distribution section of that Web page.

How did you get that control on your computer? You should be able to use it
if you have Visual Basic 6 or Office Developer installed. Otherwise
something else might have installed it and you wouldn't be able to use it
for development purposes.
