Date Picker download for Excel 2007

Hi,

Is there a way to download Windows Common Controls-2 6.0 for free to gain access to the Date Picker control? Or do you have to pay for it?

Thanks,
Mark

Here is what I use for a Date Picker.

And it will only take a few minutes to build and it is Free.

Thanks Alan,

I started using this method but soon realized I don't have 'Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP6)' as an option under more controls. I then started to follow his VBA tutorial 'A pop up Calendar for Excel' and found the additional controls did not have 'Microsoft MonthView Control 6.0 (SP4)'.

After some searching I concluded that I need to download Windows Common Controls-2 6.0 as this is not included with Excel 2007 and within those controls is mscomct2.ocx which will then enable the date picker control option.

Several links that I have tried to download from keep popping up with an option for a 40 day trial period for a WinRAR license or to buy it.

I'm happy to pay for it if that is what I need to do but just wanted to see if there is a free download somewhere that I am not aware of?

Thanks again,
Mark
