Additional control - mscomct2.ocx 6.0 SP4

[nostabo]

I have available as an "additional" control, mscomct2.ocx 6.0 SP4. This
control includes the DTPicker which comes in handy to regulate date input. My
question is whethter this comes with Windows (2000, XP and/or Vista...I'm
running XP) or was it put in my \system32 folder by another application.

If it comes with Windows or Office I will use it...if not can it be
distributed with my document? Does it need to be "regisitered" (with
RegSvr32.exe)

Thanks in advance for you advice...

Rick

Unfortunately Microsoft no longer includes the Microsoft Windows Common
Control-2-6-0 (SP3) in the resource library. You need this reference for
the DateAndTimePicker control to work. If you can't find it in the list of
available resources then you will need to download MSCOMCT2.OCX (see Office
Help & Support KB 297381). Once you have saved MSCOMCT2.OCX in your system
directory (e.g., C:\Windows\System32 for Windows XP Professional) you will
need to register it. Click "Start" then "Run," type in regsvr32
c:\windows\system32\mscomct2.ocx, then click OK. If you don't want to go
the trouble of doing this, I have included a second UserForm in the .dot
version of the Student Survey Form template that substitutes a Textbox
control for birthday and omits the DateAndTimePicker control.
