    Re: Date Picker not available

    Latest office versions do not have date picker by default.
    You will have check each pc and look in references and see if it is marked as missing.
    Another option, is to implement a date picker in your code

    Re: Date Picker not available

    You have that problem because the Datepicker is not installed on the PC of your co-workers.
    From office 2016, the datepicker is no longer supported.
    Good advice, forget the datepicker, you will only get problems with it as you have experienced it yourself.
    If you still want to install the datepicker you first have to download and install MSCOMCT2.OCX.

    (1) Perform the function below on any computer that is missing the mscomct2.ocx
    (2) Make sure a copy is in C:\Windows\System32.
    (3) In the Search area, type "command" but DON'T Press Enter Yet
    (4) The search will bring up a number of items, including "Command Prompt" at the top
    (5) Right click the "Command Prompt" banner, and select "Run as Administrator".
    (6) At the command prompt, enter: %systemroot%\System32\regsvr32.exe mscomct2.ocx
    (7) This should successfully register your legacy mscomct2.ocx

    Once The Control is registered, it can be added to the Control Toolbox available in the VBA area of Excel:

    Select the date picker control from the list of available Active-X controls:

    NewDatePickerControlSelection.jpg

    Once it is selected, it can be used from the toolbox:

    Download link for mscomct2.ocx

    See attached.
    Calendar opens in textbox 2 and 3 when you enter the boxes.
    Drag the calendar form to your file.
    Have a look at my code and the names of my controls.
    To adjust the code look also in the class module.
    There are 2 options buttons, they are used to select the correct textbox, you can hide the frame with the 2 options buttons.

    Re: Date Picker not available

    For this,try, when your Windows is 64bit.
    I sent tge instructions to one user
    Install MSCOMCT2.OCX in the C:\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.
    and register with %systemroot%\SysWoW64\regvr32.exe mscomct2.ocx
    If the office version is 64bit, you can't use the datepicker at all.
    Office 64bit and windows 64 bit are 2 diffenrent things.

    Re: Date Picker not available

    @Mahmoudelnemr; Some ActiveX controls such as Datepicker or Listview controls create problems in VBA codes, if not installed on the PC.

    I would advise you to create your own simple "Calender" control by using standart ActiveX objects (Userform, Label, CommandButton, etc.) and include it in your project. Doing so, your project will work on every PC whether it has 32 or 64 Bit Office and/or OS.

    If you are going to use text boxes the attached may be of use.
    It enables just the numeric pad to be used for speed data entry (eliminates the need to enter separators).

    This is now resolved. It was still there on UserForm3.
