Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP6) errors

One of our functioning VBA projects in Outlook 2010, running under Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), unexpectedly stopped functioning a few months ago. When running the VBA macro we started receiving the compile error message:
"Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found"
PROBLEM FORM CONTROL: The message was extremely frustrating because it gave no detailed indication of the source of the problem. With a little research, however, we found that the
Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP6), on a userform accessed by the macro, was generating the error. A number of older articles, such as the one included below, indicated that we needed
to re-register the MSCOMCT2.OCX form control, which we did successfully (as did the original author in his question link below). Unfortunately, as the original author found, simply re-registering the form control did not resolve the problem.
UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS:
1. Does anyone know why this functioning control would unexpectedly cease to function?
2. Can anyone help us restore the functionality of the 'Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP6)'?
3. How come the form control is listed in the object library, is available in the 'Additional Controls' dialog, and can be inserted into a form, without any indication that it is broken?
SUPPORT ENGINEER RUN-AROUND: Another frustration is that a responding support engineer, in the prior article, keeps referring the author back to this forum, yet the question is apparently never answered back here in
the TechNet forum (which ironically refers us back to the original article in the other forum - a game of musical chairs!).
We suspect that the solution to this problem may be similar to resolving this issue for other similar form controls in other Office 2010 application, not just Outlook. After several years, and a myriad questions on the internet regarding
this exact subject, is there someone who can definitively resolve this issue with this control?
Thank you for any help.

Hi,
Would you like to tell me your Excel version number (Go to Account>About Excel). I tested in my version :15.0.4569.1504 and the Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 still could be used.
Then,>> My PC is 64 bit. I believe my version of Office is also 64 bit.<< Office 2013 32 bit also could be installed in 64bit operation system. We could check it with Account>About Excel.
Next, as you said >>After I exited 'Design Mode,' it started working again. I tested it, along with my 'Clear Form' button multiple times. It seemed to be working fine. I closed the document and reopened it. Enabled Macros.
When I tried to use it after reopen, it doesn't work again.<<
I recommend we recreate a new blank Excel file and insert the Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 to test.
If it still does not work well, please try to reinstall and re-registry it. Follow the link:

Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 - Need help!

I am working on a form in Office 365 Excel 2013 that uses the Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0. When I set the form up last week, this Active X control was working perfectly. The weekend goes by...and now it's not working at all?
My PC is 64 bit. I believe my version of Office is also 64 bit. When I researched this issue online, I found lots of people who indicated that this control was missing in their development kit. It was and has always been available in mine
(i.e. I didn't have to load an MSCOMCT2 file). Further, this control WAS WORKING when I created it last week. Now it is not, even though no changes have been made to it. I can place the control on the sheet and even set properties for it.
But once I click out of Design Mode, it is not functioning. It doesn't open or respond to any clicks on it.
Can anyone help me identify a reason why it may have suddenly stopped working? I don't think it is macro-related because I have a 'Clear Form' button on the same page and it works just fine.
UPDATE: I've noticed something else peculiar but relevant. My office 365 just did some updates. When updates were completed, it auto-reopened my file. I noticed that the Date/Time Picker button looked funny (really pixelated).
So I hit 'Design Mode' and resized it. After I exited 'Design Mode,' it started working again. I tested it, along with my 'Clear Form' button multiple times. It seemed to be working fine. I closed the document and reopened it.
Enabled Macros. When I tried to use it after reopen, it doesn't work again. Won't respond to ANY attempts to click on it. I can click on 'Design Mode' and it sees the control, edits properties, etc. But when you click out of 'Design Mode,'
it's a dead button again. I also went to someone else's desk to test this form. Same problem. Date/Time picker button doesn't work, even after enabling macros. The Clear Form Button has no problems though.
Thanks!

Date selection will not print properly when using Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 in Excel 2010

I have created a field input worksheet in which the user identifies start and end dates for training sessions, using the Date and Time Picker Active X Control. It works fine on-screen, but when the worksheets are printed, the dates that were selected
using the date picker calendar print out in an unreadable, huge font. The large font also appears in the print preview mode. I've tried modifying various properties in design mode, but nothing that I have tried will correct the problem.
Any ideas?

The DTPicker seems to have some bugs in it when used on a worksheet. I have overcome the above by setting the size properties to the same size as a cell and the Linked cell property to the
cell under the DTPicker. (Even setting the Linked cell had problems with an error message referring to the Check box property to be set to true so I just set it to true and inserted the linked cell and set the checkbox property back to
false.)
Then the VBA code below that Hides the DTPicker after a date is selected and unhides the DTPicker when the linked cell with the date is selected. The code is for 2 DTPickers so you will need to edit to suit your requirements.
Caveat: If the DTPicker is visible then you can't hide it by selecting the same date again. If this occurs then it is a multi step operation. First select another date and the DTPicker will hide, then click on another cell then back on the cell with
the date to unhide the DTPicker and then select the correct date.
Hope it helps and feel free to get back to me with any questions etc.
Private Sub DTPicker1_Change()
    Me.DTPicker1.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub DTPicker2_Change()
    Me.DTPicker2.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Select Case Target.Address
        Case "$E$5"     'This is the linked cell for DTPicker1
            Me.DTPicker1.Visible = True
        Case "$E$13"    'This is the linked cell for DTPicker2
            Me.DTPicker2.Visible = True
    End Select
End Sub

DATE AND TIME PICKER ACTIVEX NOT WORKING

The microsoft date and time picker (6.0) is not working in systems which doesnt have MS office. What is the solution to use this in systmes which doesnt have office.

I'm not sure what the date and time picker does, but if you use an ActiveX object which does not exist on another system, the only way for it to work is to install MS Office on the target machine. The ActiveX component has to be registered on the systems.
Probably not what you wanted to hear.
Is there any way you can get what you want without using ActiveX?

Issue with Date and Time Picker on Windows 8.1 and Office 2013

We are having a issue with the Developer tool in Excel called the Date and Time Picker which puts a calendar field into the spreadsheet where you can select a date from the calendar popup
If we change this date field and then save and close and reopen it reverts back to the previous date before the change was made
If we do the same process on a Windows 7 machine with Office 2013 it saves the changes we made to the Date and Time picker field

Hi jdono2,
I'm using Windows 8 and Office 2013,and I can't reproduce this issue.
Please make sure you have already upgraded to the latest version of excel, try to reregister the MSCOMCT2.OCX.
Also you can try to use another date picker add-in to test this issue.

Date and Time on Mac OS X and Windows XP running diffrently... (Boot Camp)

Why the time differently when i change OS? I was used network time server on my both OS, but the time still wrong after i changed operating system... How can i solve this problem?
Thx.
Kelvin

Hi Kelvin,
The answer to your question lies within the Boot Camp Beta - Installation & Setup Guide. Under the Troubleshooting section on the last page. I quote:
My computer doesn’t always show the correct date and time.
The Windows XP and Mac OS X operating systems handle your computer’s date and time information differently, so the date and time may be different when you switch operating systems.
For best results, use a network time server. Resync the date and time whenever you switch operating systems.
To resync your date and time:
In Mac OS X, reset the option to “Set date & time automatically” in the Date & Time pane of System Preferences.
In Windows, click the Update Now button in the “Date and Time Properties” control panel.
Alternatively, you can manually set the correct date and time when you switch operating systems.
End quote

Automatic file generation using system date and time

Hi guys,
Iam trying to generate a path for file creation automatically using System date and time. I am running into errors with respect to special characters in filename. I am trying to parse the string to get date and time without the '/' and ':' but have not been successful. is there a better way to do it? Please help! I am trying to avoid a dialog box for user to enter a filename.
Thanks!

I may not be perfect, but I'm all I got!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

here is a little experiment .... building the path out of %m (month) %d (day) %(year) type stuff might help.

Not able to adjust date and time - format does not permit

Hello,
I just scanned one old photo as a JPG and then imported it to Aperture 2, I renamed the file 1976-07-01_01.jpg based on the date the pic was taken. Then I tried to adjust the date and time in Aperture but got this error window:
"Unable to adjust master file
Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the master file "pic.jpg" because it has a format that does not permit date modification."
What next?

I am having a similar problem. The time is off by 12 hours exactly (ahead). When I touch date and time, screen goes black for less than a second and then reverts to main screen with all of the icons. I have first generation touch and just noticed this problem. All of the software is up to date. Any one know of a fix for this?

Current Date and Time control

Hi,
I'm using the Current Date control on my form. This is OK for the date but I need the current time on a seperate control.
I see it has binding options in the Object section ie date, date and time and time but only date seems to work.
Does anyone know how I can set this to display the time only?
thanks
Paul

Yes, that should be the answer. But, as I said, when I select time only it still displays date and time.
In the 'Value' tab, I've been trying different settings. I set Type to User Entered options and Calculated options. I only get a blank unless I set this to "Calculated - Read Only" and set the runtime property to the only option available which is 'Current Date/Time'
So, there must be another setting that I need?
thanks,
Paul

It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1

Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
Was there an update maybe ?

Can I pick a certain date and time to restore my iphone?

In trying to update my iphone software with this latest update, our internet connectivity was screwy. When it went to sync, my iphone went black and everything on the computer screen quit. I couldn't do a thing with my iphone, it wouldn't even turn on/off so I restored. When it restored, it did not sync with the 10:30 pm time that I synced before I started the update. Instead, it synced with the 12:55 am time when the internet gave out. Which means, that I have nothing on my phone... all is lost. So I tried another restore which tried to sync it with 1:something am. OR I had the option of choosing June 2011. Is there anyway possible that I can choose a certain date and time to restore so not all is lost?

No, you can only restore form backup using the list of dates/times it gives you.

Get-Hotfix InstalledOn property not returning hotfix installed Date and Time on Windows Server 2008 SP2 but works on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
I am working on a validation script to get the list of hotfixes installed on Domain Controllers every month as part of our monthly DC patching process. I have been successful in getting these details for DC's with (Windows Server 2008
R2 SP1, Powershell v2.0) using the below command.
Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object PSComputerName,HotFixID,Description,InstalledBy,InstalledOn | where InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d) | FT -AutoSize
I execute the above from a jump box with powershell v4.0 (Server 2008 R2)
However, when I try the same command from the jump box to query DC's with (Server 2008 SP2, powershell v2.0). It doesn't return the InstalledOn date and time. It was giving error for the InstalledOn property and hence I renamed it to $_.InstalledOn. Now
I don't get error but still no details displayed for InstalledOn property.
I tried using the below, as could see on few forums that this might resolve the issue. I also tried removing the "where" part but still no installation date returned.
Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object HotFixID, Description, InstalledBy, @{l="InstalledOn";e={[DateTime]::Parse($_.psbase.properties["installedon"].value,$([System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::GetCultureInfo("en-US")))}}
| where {$_.InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d)} | FT -AutoSize
Have tried this locally on the 2008 SP2 DC but still not working. Please advise what is going wrong?
Note: If I execute the below command locally on the 2008 SP2 DC, I am getting the InstalledOn output. However, when executed from the jump box with powershell v4.0 (Server 2008 R2) to query
the same 2008 SP2 DC, it just gives the prompt again without any error or output. This behavior is consistent for other 2008 SP2 DC's in the environment.
Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object HotfixID,Description,InstalledBy,InstalledOn | where {$_.InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d)} | FT -AutoSize

Hi jrv, I have already tried the Win32_QuickFixEngineering option, which doesn't work either. Apologies for not mentioning the workarounds that I have already tried.
Get-Hotfix seems to be just a wrapper for Win32_QuickFixEngineering as per the below article. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849836.aspx)
I have seen a mention of using the WU ActiveX control on few forums, but was too lazy to read it through.
After rigorous testing, it makes me realize that somewhere the Get-Hotfix dates formatting\comparison isn't working.
