dtpicker

All:

Where is the date picker???? I installed the component mscomct2.ocx by searching because I couldn't find it in the component list. (I found it later). However, I still cannot find the date picker in the reference list. If I try to pick mscomct2.ocx from the component list it says its already there - but I cannot find it in the reference list. Where is it? or how do I uninstall a component from my project so I can reinstall it.

Thanks in advance.

In the component list it should be called

Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0

To uninstall components just go to the component list for the project and uncheck the box for the component and select OK.

It is already unchecked. I've unchecked it about 20 times trying to uninstall it and reinstall it. When ever I try to check it it gives me a name conflict. The component is not installed. There are only 6 components installed.

The problem, I think, is I could not find the name of the component so I went to help to find the .ocx name. I installed it using the search. I have had problems with this ever since.

I installed it with no problems in another project. (different directory). I can not get it in this one.

If it is giving you a Nameing conflict, then there is something in your project, such as a form or Class module, that has the same name as one or more of the OCX's components. Try starting a new project and adding the Windows Common control to see if that works. If it does then add your components until you run into a problem. If it does not work using a default Project, then Reinstall VB and try again.
The sequence for adding a component is to Click Project on the VB IDEs main window, Selecting Components, looking for Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0 (SP?) and check marking it. Then APPLY or OK to accept the control.
