Active X Control in Access 2010

[Luciano]

I developped an aplication in Access 2007 that runs very well. I tried to run
my application in Access 2010 and there are some errors. Access 2010 don't
recognize an Active X Controll in my forms: i.e. the Calendar (in 2007:
Calendar Control 12.0). I neeed this controll very badly. Please help me.

2010 is Beta right now. You need to give Microsoft feedback on this.

Luciano,

This is a beta product... I would suggest reporting this to Microsoft.

As a side note, most folks like to stay away from those ActiveX Controls for
the reason you have listed and more. As an alternative, have a look at...

I'm not sure why you need this since Access now has DatePicker built-in
and this control was depreciated.

As Gina suggested, you have many other alternatives should the built-in
DatePicker fail to satisfy your needs.
