microsoft calculator on form

[Ian King]

Is it possible to embed the windows calculator onto a form? I don't need to
retieve a value from it, just the facility to use it.

Many thanks

I don't believe that the calculator exposes itself for automation, so it's
likely not possible to use in a form.

However, Arvin Meyer shows one calculator at

Arvin's calculator has a requirement for the VB4 runtime. If you are
interested in an all Access solution with source then have a look here.

While it was designed to be used/bound to a field on your form, you should
easily be able to change this, perhaps by binding it to an invisible field
on your form.

also, This one will start windows calculator and copy the display from the
calculator to the edit box of your choice....
