Hello there ProFoxers!
1st of all - Happy TGIF!
I'm trying to find out who else may have this particular problem. Here's the URL to an image of the Date Picker being used within a system here at my job: http://imgur.com/a/ZlGZu
Initially - the problem with the Date Picker caused the system to Crash. Why you might ask? Because the system was trying to set a default date for the Date picker. This was the specific error that was being thrown: "Ole IDispatch exception code 0 from DTPicker: A date was specified that does not fall within the MinDate and MaxDate properties..."
At first I wasn't sure what was causing the problem. Turns out - I went to another screen that had the Date Picker running on it - which is the above screen. When I went into that screen - the dates were set to 9/1 - 9/30/16. This is because this report is generally run on the 1st of the month for the prior month. So - upon trying to set the dates to Oct month range - then the problem is apparent. Notice the grey circle around the 25th of the month - although you probably can't see it in this screen shot. But, the picker no longer allows you to pick ANY Date Beyond the 25th of October! And, trying to set the default date to end of Oct. during the startup of another report screen - That is what caused it to Crash.
Needless to say - this is an OCX from M$ - and its fairly standard. So - I figured others may be using it in their systems - which are May NOT be FoxPro systems. If so - you will ALSO have the problem.
So - I'm curious - has anyone else here experienced the problem?

I'm really surprised that NOBODY Responded to this thread. Mostly because I would be shocked that NOBODY had this problem - as those nobody is using this DatePicker control. Can that actually be??

On investigation we use it on our standard date picker control, basically we have it (specifically MsComCtl2.MonthView.2) on a form with a few buttons to select the current date and so forth. No reported issues like this and we would have sites numbering in the thousands using it from Win XP upwards.
Could it be related to the PC regional settings?
Alan,
I use that same control but I haven't had any reports of problems. I just checked it and ran through a few tests and it seems to be working well.
You're experiencing this on multiple user systems? Any idea which OS is having problems?

Mike - am having the problem on multiple OS's - incl. Win7 & Win10 systems.
Alan - not sure about regional settings - will have to look into that and follow-up when I can.
