Welcome to VBForums

The calendar control is not designed for VB (it is for VBA), so is prone to errors.

You should use a MonthView or DateTimePicker instead, which can be found in the components "Microsoft Windows Common Controls ..."

Actually the Calendar Control is part of Office and only when you try to use it in a non-VBA app will it create headacches for you.

Can you give us a little more info on what your app uses or does?

the users have to fill in when the production of a certain produkt begins and end

so they get 2 textboxes and a 2 command buttons, when they press the command button a new form with the calendar will show to select the date to fill in the textbox.

when they press the commandbutton the error comes sometimes

i will try now MonthView or DateTimePicker thanks for the replys
