VBA, DatePicker problem under Windows XP and Office XP

DatePicker problem under Windows XP and Office XP

Author	Message
Marcel Kollenaa #1 / 3	DatePicker problem under Windows XP and Office XP Hi, I used the DatePicker - Microsoft Date and TimePicker Control 6.0 (SP4) - in several solutions in Word2000. Word2000 was installed as part of Office2000 under Win98SE. I upgraded the computer to Windows XP and installed Office2000 again. Now I noticed that the macro's and forms I developed don't work. The MSCOMCT2.OCX is not present on XP. My question is can I copy the OCX from W98SE to the XP \Windows\system map and register this component without doing harm to the XP system? Thanks in advance, Marcel Kollenaar

Jay Freedma #2 / 3	DatePicker problem under Windows XP and Office XP Hi, Marcel, MSCOMCT2.OCX is distributed with Visual Basic, not with Windows. If you don't have Visual Basic (distinct from the Visual Basic for Applications that's built into Office apps), you might have gotten the file by installing a Visual Basic application that someone else wrote. In either case, there's no problem with copying it from the older machine to the new one and using it in your VBA solutions. However, if you have VB on the old machine and not on the new one, you may find that you can't use the DateTimePicker in design mode because you won't have the license key in the registry. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.mvps.org/word Quote: > Hi, > I used the DatePicker - Microsoft Date and TimePicker Control 6.0 > (SP4) - in several solutions in Word2000.

Marcel Kollenaa #3 / 3	DatePicker problem under Windows XP and Office XP Hi Jay, Thanks for your valuable information. I have indeed installed VB6 on the computer where I build the macro's and was therefore useable in Word2000 when I added the datepicker to the toolkit in Word. I noticed that there is calendertype function alike DatePicker standard present in OfficeXP. In the case that VB6 is not compatible with XP I'll have to rewerite the datepicker code.
