Morning everyone. I have a user who was recently upgraded to Win 10 / Office 2016 and now he is missing the usual Active X controls found in previous versions. In this case specifically he is trying to add a Date Picker control to a button / form he is building. However, when he clicks on Tools->Additional Controls in VBA the control is no longer available. Without using a 3rd party add in (he's on a military network), is there a way to enable the date picker control? (Active X controls are enabled under Options btw.)

Thanks in advance,

Laz

Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
The date picker was discontinued in Excel 2007 as I recall, your user is out of luck.
