Hi Everyone, Quick question, what is the easiest way to have a monthview control default to the current date when it's launched? I know I could do something like MonthView1.Value = Range('A1').Value And have A1 fill with the current date, but I feel like there must be a way to do this. Date Picker for Excel inserts a pop-up calendar into Microsoft Excel. It works like a drop-down calendar, offering a handy date selector. As long as the date picker app is running, it activates the pop-up calendar in all the Excel files you open. It does not require you to insert an additional control into any particular Excel.

Problem
Date and Time Picker & Monthview controls are not included as a standard since Excel 2010 (additionally there are some known issues).
So the additional controls are buggy (>download< - >step by step<):
Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP6)
Microsoft MonthView Control 6.0 (SP6)
And I would need to explain to the end user of my form, how to install it.
Ideal situation
The end user does not need to install anything in order for the macro to work.
Research
So I did some research and found the following website: https://sites.google.com/site/e90e50/calendar-control-class#TOC-The-concept
Claims (I believe) to be easy to implement in existing Excel projects and compatible with older versions and only to use basic elements.
Alternatively: Use a Calendar control or Date Picker to fill in dates provides an Excel Add In.
This would still require all end-users to install the add in. Something I'd prefer to avoid.
My question
Is the Calendar Control Class the golden nugget I've been looking for? I need to apply it to two cells on one sheet in my workbook.
If yes, I'm going to try and implement it
Curious to hear about people their experience with it.
Thanks for your input!
Cheers,
Zeno
