MonthView Control missing in Office 2013 64bit

**dhlao** · 11-08-2015, 06:26 AM

Using Windows 7 64 bit and MS Office 2013 64 bit.
Want to use datapicker in Excel. Found that MonthView Control is missing.
Thus, download MSCOMCT2.OCX and place it inside C:\Windows SysWOW64, then run regsvr32 to reg it successfully.
But nothing change. MonthView Control is still missing.

Any help would be grateful.

I presume that's a typo and you meant datEpicker not datApicker and that you are referring to the Calendar Control object that used to come with Excel

I've always been surprised that MS dropped this some while back and I've never found any simple way of getting it back as an add in or anything else. My feeling is you'd be better designing your own date picker (perhaps three simple drop down lists that records days, months and years) or using one of the many offerings that you'll see if you google the subject.
