In this lesson we show how Users can select Dates on Screen Forms by pick and clicking from a Calendar display.
Both of these Date Pickers are demonstrated and discussed in detail, including setting up Screen Forms and writing Program Code.
We show how to limit the Minimum and Maximum Date which can be chosen on the Month Calendar Picker.
We also show how the Month Calendar Picker can be used to select a Date Range.
We strongly recommend that you purchase and download the resources pack for this lesson, as the code needs to be structured correctly.
Also included in the Resources Download is the Form Design as well as the full code listings.

Our Programming Learning Modules are designed for complete beginners, and they have been extensively trialled with High School students learning Programming for the first time. They have a proven track record of being able to get everyone up and running with Microsoft Visual Basic - the world's most popular Beginner Programmer's language.
We highly recommend using the Step by Step Summary Guide as well as the other support materials to maximise learning outcomes.
Our students have found the Summary Guide to be far more useful than re-watching the Video, when it comes time for them to apply their newly acquired skills to Application Build tasks.

The Edge purchase will work okay, but it is probably best to do Pay Pal purchases using Google Chrome as your browser.
