    date picker


    I have a form that contains several tabs one of the subforms within the tab does not show the date picker even though it is turned on. If I open the subform separately it does appear any ideas why?

    Can you enter a date in the Control via the keyboard, when it's being used as a Subform? It sounds like the Form, when being used as a Subform, is Read-Only.

    Linq's explanation looks highly plausible but I've seen many issues with both the date picker & various ActiveX alternatives for 64-bit Access users like yourself

    You may be interested in my alternative date picker calendar form that is easy to use, not based on ActiveX and definitely works in both 32-bit & 64-bit Access
    I posted it to another forum several months ago - see https://www.access-programmers.co.uk...d.php?t=298062
