// calls calandar program and tells were to return value

// I use this with a command button element
// substitute your element name to return value to for Dateentered

@MSG (@SHELL ("C:\Sesame\utils\lancal.exe c:\sesame\utils\mydate.txt"))
Dateentered = @insert("c:\sesame\utils\mydate.txt")

I tried to remove the > and now getting th ^ at

  Now getting the following error
Error String
Error while parasing module "SCHEDULE DATE (0)":
Statement or End-of-File expected.
Line 1, position 1: <
If SelectedField=SCHEDULE DATE" and SelectField<>"SCHEDULE DATE" Then {
^

I copied this program from the Allutils-readme Q&A programing statment example, but changed the location.

Bob,
// substitute your element name to return value to for Dateentered 

@MSG (@SHELL ("C:\Sesame\utils\lancal.exe c:\sesame\utils\mydate.txt"))
Dateentered = @insert("c:\sesame\utils\mydate.txt")

Does this look right

If SelectedField="SCHEDULE DATE" and SelectField<>"SCHEDULE DATE" Then {
SelectField= @MSG (@SHELL ("C:\Sesame\utils\lancal.exe c:\sesame\utils\mydate.txt"));
SelectedField = @insert("c:\sesame\utils\mydate.txt");
SelectField="SCHEDULE DATE"}

or could you give me an example. 

Still getting errors???

Thanks for your assitance.

Everything is testing ok in preview

So far,

I am not sure I like it.

You can not toggle F9/ F10 between records on the date field with out it popping up every time.

Any way to get it to program to only pop up when you want to change a date?

I like to scroll through my records by date using F9/F10 and you keep having to confirm the dates.

It also seems to obstruct the form view your working in. I find the calender to be too large. 

I guess I will test it a few more days before making any commitments to using it.

Thanks for your assistance in helping me get this up and running.

Is anyone else using this utility?

Regards,

Dave Costanzo

Dave,

Another nice way to utilize the calendar is to just make a tiny little command button and put your logic on it and place it next to your date field, so when you want the calendar you just press the button. You will have no problems of it activating as you move from record to record.
