The same mscal.ocx working on Windows NT is not working on Windows XP.The file on both the OS are exactly identical (Version 8.0.0.5007). When this control used in an VB application gives automation error in runtime on Windows XP. While the same application works fine on Windows NT.

I face the same problem and to be more
focused:
1. the month property returns 16
2. the year property is causes r.t.e.
4. attempt to see the properties of the control in VB6 causes crash of the whole IDE

Any way to overcome the problem will be appreciated.

Sorry!! I never came back on forum to see what Response there was as I sorted it later that day.

The problem is a bugged version of MSCal.ocx that originates in Office XP (Probably Access) NOT Windows XP per se.

The work around is to dergister MScal.ocx overwrite with the old version and re register.

MSCal.ocx v 9.0.0.2607 which I am using is def OK
V 10.0.0.2601? is NOT

Use Regsvr32/u mascal.ocx

then
Regsvr32 c:\......\mascal.ocx

There are several bug reports from various vendors detailing this and a report from Ms themselves (which appears misleading in that it implies that the problem does not apply to VB..... and it does.)

Hope this helps

Best wishes

Hi

I worked around that problem in Access of XP:
- form's "old" calender control (object) deleted
- new Calenter Control 10.0 were added

After that my "calender form" works nicely!
The version of MSCAL.OCX is 10.0.0.2601.
