Okay, I just updated a DB from Access 97 to Access 2002.
Along with it, the calendar controls were all updated to
mscal.ocx ver 10.0 instead of 8.0.

For some reason, instead of DayLength property options of
Short, Medium and Long, they are now System, System
(Medium), English, and English(Medium). What the
heck?????? How do I set these back to the old "Short"
format (S,M,T,W,T,F,S)?

I tried pressing F1 for help, but the help file still
thinks the options are the old method (Short, Medium and
Long), so I guess whoever thought this change was a good
idea didn't bother to update the help file? Is there any
good reference information on mscal.ocx ver 10.0 anywhere?

Thanks for any help. These conversion issues are going to
make a Linux user out of me yet....Grrr.....

Versioning issues and OS issues have caused many seasoned Access developers
to eschew MSs calendar (and other) controls. You may find references to
calendar functions and forms on http://mvps.org/access .Tony Toews has a
section on his site http://www.granite.ab.ca/ that offers downloadable
calendars. Also, Ken Getz et alia provide some elegant calendars on the CDs
that accompany "Access [YourVersion] Developer's Handbook". I've been using
one from Ken Getz from Access 2.0.
