Calender not working in 2010 ms access
Hi Experts, I am getting 'Run time error 2683' when I am running the 2007 access form in 2010 version, it is happening when i am trying to open the calender - open calender property is calling on my combo box 'mouse down' event. Please help, I have to use the calender in 2007 and 2010.
Thanks
Thanks

Check to see if you have a missing reference. If you use mscal.ocx see this http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/5517-how-to-solve-missing-mscal-ocx-reference-in-microsoft-access-2010
MSCAL.OCX is no longer included in A2010. There is now a built in Calendar - part of any Text Box property sheet ... called Date Picker.
However, if you really want to ... and you have a legal copy of <=A2007, you can get MSCAL.OCX from a system, put the file say in the same folder as your app, then set a Reference to it ... and your original Calendar will still work.

is any other way than copying MSCAL.OCX, because lot of users are using this database, some of them are in 2007 and some of them in 2010.
Not that I can think of ...
It's highly unfortunate that Microsoft did not provide this OCX in A2010 for backward compatibility !

I am sorry, i copied the ocx file to C:\Windows\SysWOW64, but not sure how to set a reference
Instructions in the link in my first post.
I. Click on the Windows Start menu and select 'Run'
II. In the Run command window enter: regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\syswow64\msca
III. Select OK to execute the command

Not to be confused with Registering ... no need for that.
ASKER
file name, directory name or volume label 1 syntax is wrong - i typed it correctly as you provide
ASKER
I will try that way too.. sorry i just missed your post "Open the VBA Editor>>Tools>>References>
Do not Register ... Set a VBA Reference to it.
You may not be able to do Registry settings on user's systems.

It still showing the error 2683 object missing :(
ASKER
in the reference it showing the calender control 2007 as selected..
Humm ... I've done this before. I must be forgetting a step.
I think ... on the Form, you have to delete the original control, then ... from the menu - select ActiveX control - point to the Calendar - and put back on the Form ... something like that.

Ok I ll do that, thanks a lot...
Did that work ?
ASKER
It didnt work really, because may be i didnt try well, the reason is they are upgrading every users system from 2007 to 2010, so I removed the 2007 calender control and integrated the 2010 (with text box) with the same name. It is now working fine.. Thanks a lot for helping..
That was the best move ... use the 2010 Calendar control.
