    Drop-down calendar option for setting dates.

    Drop-down calendar option for setting dates.

    So far the only possible solution I found is: 1. export the date field into VB6 2. in vb6 app create an instance of DTPicker (described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa231249(VS.60).aspx ) 3. pass back the selected date. It would require a lot of steps though b/c the only way I...

    Exporting To Excel.

    Thanks so much sdjensen. You set me on the right path to finding an answer.

What was the purpose of it? when I try removing the no-error from DDE initiate it gives me an error "DDE initiate failed (3153)", so you think its...
