How to Add Date Picker To VBA UserForm

by

OFFICE 2013 INSTRUCTIONS:

(For Windows 7 (x64) | MS Office 32-Bit)

Option 1 | Check if ability already exists | 2 minutes

  1. Open VB Editor
  2. Tools -> Additional Controls
  3. Select “Microsoft Monthview Control 6.0 (SP6)” (if applicable)
  4. Use ‘DatePicker’ control for VBA Userform

Option 2 | The “Monthview” Control doesn’t currently exist | 5 minutes

  1. Close Excel
  2. Download MSCOMCT2.cab (it’s a cabinet file which extracts into two useful files)
  3. Extract Both Files | the .inf file and the .ocx file
  4. Install | right-click the .inf file | hit “Install”
  5. Move .ocx file | Move from “C:\Windows\system32” to “C:\Windows\sysWOW64”
  6. Run CMD | Start Menu -> Search -> “CMD.exe” | right-click the icon | Select “Run as administrator”
  7. Register Active-X File | Type “regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\MSCOMCT2.ocx”
  8. Open Excel | Open VB Editor
  9. Activate Control | Tools->References | Select “Microsoft Windows Common Controls 2-6.0 (SP6)”
  10. Userform Controls | Select any userform in VB project | Tools->Additional Controls
  11. Select “Microsoft Monthview Control 6.0 (SP6)”
  12. Use ‘DatePicker’ control for VBA UserForm

Okay, either of these two steps should work for you if you have Office 2013 (32-Bit) on Windows 7 (x64). Some of the steps may be different if you have a different combo of Windows 7 & Office 2013.

The “Monthview” control will be your fully fleshed out ‘DatePicker’. It comes equipped with its own properties and image. It works very well. Good luck.
