What this demo shows
Download the Access file (two date boxes, one picker — Access 2007+).
A popup calendar that returns a date to the field that opened it — Access NiftyDatePicker.
- Calling control — Date 1 and Date 2 share one calendar. The picker writes back to the box that opened it (
prpCtrlInitialDate). - 42-cell grid — Monday start; previous and next month days are paler (Access Tag P / C / F).
- Today, month, year — same buttons as the Access form. Today writes today's date into the calling box and closes (one fewer key press).
- Go! or double-click — both open the picker, as on
frmNifty1. - Unsaved changes — leave a dirty record and you get Yes / No / Cancel (Access
Me.Dirty).
Will this work when the data is in a database?
Yes. The host row is an ordinary Date/Time field. The popup is UI. The same date would save in a company database.
