Through playing around, I am reasonably happy with the datetime picker from the past. My instance in Access shows the class as MSCom. Ctl. 2. DTPicker. Whats missing for me is a help file. When I use the Access properties window, place the cursor in a property value and press F1 to learn more about the property, I get the usual tired MS help screen that is nothing more than a regurgiation of the control. If I use the custom properties dialog via the control context menu, and click the help button on that screen, I am told Im missing the cmctl. WOW6. 4 folder. I thought maybe this was an old 6. Ive searched my hard drive, and there is no such file. Ive done the Google, MSDN, and Tech. Net dances, but I am not having any luck finding this help file so far from a source I know and trust. There are always places on the web that claim to have any file one looks for, but I wont install MS products. Microsoft. Been there, done that, been burned. I have every version of Windows, Office, and VS that has ever been released. Can someone tell me where to find the help file or some detailed documentation for how this control works with Access Ive found. I do not believe are exposed to the Access interface and the ones I am interested in leasrning more about are not in the documentation. Maybe Im also barking up the wrong tree. If there is a more modern control I should be using, Im good with it, as long as I do not have to install anything at the system level on the client machines there are thousands of them all over the world with. IT managed from another country, so I cannot add or subtract from the Windows installation, and cannot install updates to Windows or Office. Thanks in advance to anyone who has some direction for me on this one.
