Jim-
Thanks. datetimepicker looks most promising. Now does anyone have any code
snipsets to share regarding its use?
I need to get the date and time from my user not just the date. I also need
to restrict the dates that he can select. And, I am using VBA inside a third
party software product,
not full VB. Any help would be appreciated.
