Not since I've been using it. Which language are you using it with? It seems to work fine with UK.

So it will take 8 clicks to zoom in and select a day, so 15 clicks total to go from any particular day to another day.

15 clicks versus 1 click and 10 keystrokes, being able to type would be much easier

It has its very own life in Danish - and it often requires extra steps in VBA to get the desired result out.

Not to mention the week number problem that has existed for a very long time.

But probably off topic....

The poor usability of our current date picker control is one of several items on the list of things that needs to be fixed for full calendar support.

Could it be modified so that you pick a default starting date at realm creation? So that it uses that date instead of the 1/1/20000?
