Chet,
I've modded the drop calendar so you can specify any date in the past as a
substitute fro the VFP blank date
www.replacement-software.co.uk/vfp/VFP_Calendar.zip
On the example form you will see the property of the activeX
"dBlank_Date_Substitute" bound to a textbox and this can be changed on the
fly or by setting the ActiveX property programatically.

Subject: Re: Have a Calendar object?
It's kind of interesting that to me, this profox place is really two lists.
The first is a supportive environment for giving and receiving help to and
from each other on computer (mostly) related topics..
The second kind of slips into personalities, "politics", stereotypes about
each other, etc. I've been really trying to stay out of that mode
lately...getting mellower in my 4th quarter, I hope...
I've been able to completely separate the two nearly all of the time. I
really don't notice whose name it is if a question is asked that I can help
with or if someone helps me out as far as "remembering them from any other
discussions" is concerned.
I'm glad of that. I'd much rather be pro-active and helpful...it feels
better. It's also more in keeping with who I really am -- 99.9% of the
time, I'm a pretty happy, contented guy...
Thanks for your help...
As for the object, it would be nice if a date that is empty would show as "
/ / ". I understand the difficulty with active-x though, it sounds like
you're in the same kind of bind with that as I am with the old framework
object I was struggling with.
I may take another stab at that other one from Sweet Potato. It's
accessible since it's actually just a VFP form...

Chet,
The problem is that the native M$ ActiveX won't accept a null date as
VFP will. I have a modded calendar activeX wrapper that substitutes
"01/01/1900"
within the control whenever a null date is found somewhere as I had the
same problem. I'll either find it or just redo the mod if it looks as
though it is going to be of use to you.

Hmmm.
Close?
The bound field can have an empty date -- in fact, for many of them
that's their natural state. This control doesn't seem to want to
display an empty date (<table>.<datefield> = {} )

Chet,
I have posted a VFP ActiveX Drop calendar which can be bound to a
table field on my site at:
www.replacement-software.co.uk/vfp/VFP_Calendar.zip
Please note that it requires binding at design time. If you need late
binding I'll change it accordingly.
Hope it helps.

You got it!!! :-)
And what's really amazing is that I have at least 3 PC's and it don't
work on any of them. That's a good working definition of a conspiracy
:-)
