I'm trying to help someone with their ActiveX controls.

I created a database that she & I share. The DB uses an ActiveX calendar control; it worked fine for her up until the last day or 2. Now, she cannot use any of her ActiveX controls.

We tried troubleshooting, but everything I've tried so far has not worked. She cannot even see the Calendar Control in her ActiveX box - I thought it would have been greyed out, but she said it does not show up at all.

Any ideas?

thank you,
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Longshot but try making sure Office is updated through windows update.

Not sure why you'd need a calendar control. Doesn't date fields have date pickers already (Access 2007+)? If you want I can also give you a link to a homemade datepicker that doesn't use ActiveX (a little less fancy but does the job).
