Welcome to the forums.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "as a blank". Do you mean with no date highlighted?

If you set the Checkbox property of the DTP it will then be a null date value and appear greyed out but the dropdown arrow and checkbox will function still.

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    DTPicker1.CheckBox = True
    DTPicker1.Value = vbNullString
End Sub

To have a blank date

Set the Format property to Custom
Set the CustomFormat property to a single space
Set the CustomFormat property when a user selects a date.

Private Sub Form_Load()
    DTPicker1.Format = dtpCustom
    DTPicker1.CustomFormat = " "
End Sub

Private Sub DTPicker1_CloseUp()
    If DTPicker1.CustomFormat = " " Then
        DTPicker1.CustomFormat = "dd-MMM-yyyy"
    End If
End Sub

The above is minimal, you will need to also handle keyboard activity and more...
