I use the mscal.ocx as a drop down calender and it works fine "except" I run
into a problem when there is another mscal.ocx on the users system with a
different date. When the user has this other mscal.ocx on there computer
Access cancels when the user clicks the down arrow. Is there any way to
check this or is there a better option?
Thanks for your help.

A better option is not to use the activex control, and use the all-API
solution Stephen Lebans has at http://www.lebans.com/monthcalendar.htm

Doug is right on this, CD.
Gravedigger's First rule for ActiveX controls.
Don't Use Them
