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
dependancy file.

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

Like you said, best advice is to avoid it.
