Author Problem with mscal.ocx

Hello

I'm using mscal.ocx in a vb6 project for displaying a calender object. In
rare cases the calendar object don't display the numeric character
representing the day. I had tried "everything".

Is there anyone who have a solution to my problem?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem : it was due to a font not present on the
customer computer, however I don't know if it is exactly the same
problem i had.

mscal.ocx is a recipe for a headache. It's intimately tied to the version of
Office on any given machine. I highly recommend you use the MonthView
control instead.

Part of the headache will concern a glitch in the=20
dependancy file.

Also wasn't there a discussion a while about whether it=20
could even be distributed? It seems it appears on earlier=20
dirstribution lists, but is absent from some recent ones.

Like you said, best advice is to avoid it.
