SYMPTOMS
========

The arrow to the right of the Calendar Control Properties box is unavailable
(appears dimmed) and you cannot set the Font and Color properties for the

CAUSE
=====

The OC1016.DLL file was not registered properly in the REG.DAT file when you
installed the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit.

RESOLUTION
==========

To register the OC1016.DLL file, follow these steps.

NOTE: This resolution assumes that the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit is
installed in the C:\ACCESS\ADT directory, and that Microsoft Windows is
installed in the C:\WINDOWS directory. If you are using different directories,
modify the line in step 2 appropriately.

1. In Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.

2. In the Command Line box, type the following line, and then choose OK:

  C:\ACCESS\ADT\MSAREG C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OC1016.DLL

The registration process will take from 1 to 5 seconds to complete. You will not
receive any notification that the process has been completed.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 2.0.
This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.
