Hi Larry,
 
Well you could give it a try to the Calendar Stephen Lebans and I developed

Or

Sure, try eg. the calendar that comes with any of the Access Developers Handbooks. That includes a capsulated function that will return a chosen date-value. Use a button next to each date-field to call the calendar. If you don't own one of these books and don't plan to buy one, check out various sites throughout the net where you'll find lots of those (each one of them being better than that damn MS-cal-ocx ...).
 
Cheers,
Olaf
