forms text box, links to the DB which has a setting of "short date" therefore, if the user puts any format other than this 00/11/0000, it of course whinges with error 13 "type mismatch"
Can I re-write this error so that when it pops up the user will see rather than run time error something like "Check your date format"?
other than that, I dont know how to write into the program "the Database requires you to put the date into the dd/mm/yyyy format" sort of thing...
on right click of the toolbox, I have "Components, Add Tab, Dockable, Hide"
after selecting components, I dont have the same screen as you... I have 3 tabs "Controls, Designers, Insertable Objects" the location at the bottom states "c:\winnt\system32\vsflex3.ocx" and I dont have any of the options that you do... im guessing thats not a good thing?
The answer should be YES, however you would need Error-Handling for that, which you don't have!
The message you got is system generated, in order to give the user another message for that situation you have to write code for that error. After doing that, you could give the user any message you want in case of that error!

No Wonder
Go to Projects --> Components --> Check the "Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0(SP6) "

Just to be akward
1. I just realised I am actually working on a virtual machine, windows 2000 on the xp platform, my bad...
2. I only have Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0, no service pack after the name
3. I have just gone through and the options after the right click remain the same as 5 posts up!

I have just found the DT Picker, and its allowing me to choose a date, but I cant select the time...
Second Note: I think I have found it under the "custom properties" of the DTpicker... I think it looks like I am there...
So looking at this it allows me to choose dates like this, however is there a simple function to draw out a fully digital calander onto a form?

Yeah I have foudn it, the DTpicker works fine ont hat front, and produces a little calender which will definately do, however when I set it up so the DTpicker is used for time, I have put a custom control on there, and now when I use the drop down box, on the area where the time is entered, it gives me another calender to select a date, can this be changed?
at present I think I am just going to go back to my text box for the time if its not fairly easy to fix...
