Date Time Picker Control Within Access 2010

[The_Grudge]

I'm creating an entry form for people, and I have a few date fields in the application.

I started out with a textbox and toggled the "Show Date Picker" to "Yes". It works perfectly, but one of the dates I need is a persons birth date. That means, a lot of the dates that will be entered into this particular field go back a ways (e.g. 1945, 1955).

From what I've seen, there's no quick way to toggle the year in the default control.

I've tried adding the Access Active X control which DOES have faster "year navigation", but - it's Active X and it's not without it's own issues.

Any ideas on how to get around this?

only 2 things from the top of my head (before i mention them have you tried clicking the month part then click the year?) number 1: put these into a combobox as a list of years and make the month/day separate. 2: make the maxdate in the past so its closer to what it may be, ie noone from 2012 will be using it so no need to show 2012.
