Funny, mine says "MSDN not found" I assume this means the subscription service for developers. Anyway, the default is set by changing the value property. When you rt-click on the control select dtpicker -object properties, and set the date value there. By the way, mine is (SP4) so you may need to download some updates. I have used this in my database programs and it works on all the machines I have tried it on, except I may have to set references on some to recognize it, or install mscomctl2. -- Damon Heron
