XP SP3 and Access 97 srhanna[ at ]bouldersci.com 10/21/2008 9:22:49 PM I realize that maybe nobody cares about this except me, so just ignore this if it doesn't apply to you. We use a Microsoft Access 97 .MDE for some data entry, and we have a date field that calls the Monthview control from an Access form. It has been working fine under Windows XP SP2, but under XP SP3, the calendar comes up blank. We are now trying to uninstall SP3 to see if that fixes the problem. I can't find anything in the documentation for SP3 that points to MSCOMCT2.OCX, but maybe I missed it. Killbits? Re-register?

The problem was due to a change in our PC setup. We did not realize that the MSCOMCT2.OCX file was being installed by a third-party program that we recently stopped using. The failure was completely unrelated to XP SP3. Thank you to all who took time to read and to respond. SRH
