Calendar Control Causing DB to Crash

C

I recently had a computer upgraded and now when I open my forms that have the
calendar control on it in Access 2003, the DB crashes and asks to Repair and
compact the database and to send the error to Microsoft. I know there is
nothing wrong with the DB as I can open it on any other computer without this
happening. Am I missing something from my installation?

My guess is that something is wrong in the database. It's probably the form
that uses the calendar control rather than the calendar control itself.

Try the recovery steps suggested in this article:

If you really think it is the calendar control, you can get away without it
by using a little unbound Access form as a popup calendar. You can download
one here, and import into your database:

You don't say what upgrades you had done, but you're running Access 2003, so
is it possible that the SP3 service pack was installed? This service pack
brought a slew of bugs with it, some of which are fixed with the ensuing
hotfix. Here's an article by Allen that lists some of the bugs as well as a
link to the hotfix:

I think the DB is OK. I can set up a new database and create a form with a
calendar control. As soon as I try to put it on the form, the DB crashes and
ask for the repair. Maybe I should have the calendar control installed again?
