Insert a popup calendar in a form

[Cor]

Can you please give any help on how to insert a calendar into a form with the following functions:

I have a date field and would like to attach a command button next to it, so when you click on it the calendar opens up and closes automatically as soon as the date has been selected.

I tried to insert the calendar control into the form but wasn't able to link this to the date field / command button. I must say I am not familiar how to write macros / VBA language.

Hi Corina, welcome to the Board!

There are a few different Calendar controls around.
This link shows how to use the built-in Calendar control.
But you may find this one more generally useful. The second option doesn't care which version of Access you use: the first does.
