How is it possible to have Access display a popup calendar to an unbound control?

Hi Experts,
Wondering if there is a way to have Access new feature of displaying popup calendar for date fields also do that to a particular unbound control, which is used for user to enter date range to filter the form?

PS. I have programmed calendar popup screens that are in use for older Access versions, but perhaps they can all be removed, once I get a solution for this question..

Hi,

and DatePicker to Yes for Dates

The problem is that I'm still designing it in 2003
Talking about users of later versions having this feature
Can I do that in conditional programming?

Thanks,

"or if unbound, has a date format."
Like I was saying :-)

Hi Experts,

1. NO Input mask

I see now what you mean.
However this will remove the convenience of having the slashes pre-entered if users enter it manually.
Any suggestion to accommodate both?

Thanks,
Ben
