Removing references to mscal.ocx

[backfromthebush]

Hi all,

I have a database built that was built in Access 2003. We are migrating to Access 2010, and get the error "You Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'MSCAL.OCX' version 7.0".
I understand that this is to do with the calender control, which is activated generally by a textbox on event double-click and up pops the calender template.
Quite simply, I want to remove any reference to this calender control and calender template, and just use the built in calender picker.
Is there an easy way to remove all references to MSCAL without having to go into each individual form??

Unfortunately Not.

You will need to open each form and remove the reference and change the setting to use the date picker.

FWIW: The built in date picker is very limited. I have not found it very useful for most apps. I use a pop-up calendar made with native Access controls. This way is will always work in any version of Access. See: Calendar Links
