Good morning!

What I want to be able to do is when I tab into a field that is for a date, I want the date picker to automatically appear so I don't have to use the mouse to click on it. I couldn't find anything as a macro, and I'm not at the level yet to write VBA to make it work. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Kattracks,

Open the form in Design View. Select the textbox that will store the date. Open the Properties box. Under the Events tab, select the On Got Focus event.

A small button with three buttons will appear to the right of where you clicked. Click this button, and you'll be taken to the Visual Basic Editor, with a header and footer defined for that control's On Got Focus event. Something along these lines:

CODE
Private Sub dteTestDate_GotFocus()
    
End Sub


Add the following line of code between the header and footer:

CODE
    Application.RunCommand (acCmdShowDatePicker)


This should open the date picker every time you tab into that textbox, or click on the textbox.

Hope this helps,

Dennis
