How to install datepicker (not in my list of extra tools) in Excel 2007

[bobjansen]

Date picker is not in the list of extra tools that I can choose. How to install this tool?

Maybe have a look at RoyUK's site for some less problematic alternatives:

Hi bobjansen, I had a similar problem with Date and Time Picker 6.0 (Active X- if that's the one you mean) not being in the developer tab.

I found it was because my work PC did not have the correct system control file - MSCOMCT2.OCX

See here:

but if you are installing it you must do so through the command prompt...but there's some guides to that you can easily find by searching.

Or see here:

Hope that helps
