I appreciate all the suggestions and help the various users have
offered but I seem to conclude that it may not be possible for a combo
box to function like a calendar control (i.e. quite simply, for the
user to click on the down arrow and select  from the list). I am aware
this can be done quite easily in ACCESS by using the LimitToList
property of the combo box). If any one has a simple solution that
works exactly like the combo box in ACCESS, it would be welcomed.
