OL97: Calendar Control Not Available to VBScript

ID: Q165949

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

The Outlook 97 calendar control cannot be used on a custom Outlook form page or with other programs.

NOTE: This same behavior exists in Outlook 98.


MORE INFORMATION

The Outlook appointment, task, contact, and journal forms contain a dropdown calendar which allows you to select a date by clicking the desired day on the calendar. This feature is internal to Outlook and you cannot access it from another program because it is not a separate control.

To see the calendar feature, open a new appointment and click the arrow to the right of the Start date or End date fields. Outlook will display a small monthly calendar where you can click to select a date.
