Can anyone recommend a good date and time picker control? The one from
Microsoft is pretty good except that they (for reasons known only to them
and Martians) decided to make the alignment, field spacing, etc. different
from the rest of their controls (text box, combo box, list box). So it looks
ugly on a form with other controls.

I know that's nit-picky, but I'm trying to make things look decent for
clients as well as work properly. So any tips on an improved control

Thanks in advance.

See the Calendar Tips page at my website.

There could, likely will, be lots of version problems when you go to
distribute the MSCal.OCX..  

Some alternatives are:
  MonthCalendar is a completely API generated Month Calendar derived
directly from the Common Control DLL.
    There are several downloadable calendar forms at the Links page
at my website.   As these are forms you can also do anything with them
you want.

You can also use the calendar form which comes in the Access <insert
your version here> Developers Handbook by Litwin/Getz/Gilbert,
publisher Sybex  www.developershandbook.com.  These books are well
worth spending money.  Every time I open one I save the price of the
book.
