As an aside, the calculation to determine where the calendar should be placed (immediately below the container and with the left sides aligned) is made in the control's overwritten  form_open() method.  This means that if the form is moved, as was the case in Charlie's screenprint, the calendar no longer appears immediately below the control on the main form.  It would be better if the calculation was made in the GETCALBUTTON_ONCLICK event handler.
