I'm a bit startled here

This works fine
Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
    Selection.Range.Text = Format(Calendar1.Value, "dd-mm-yyyy")
End Sub

or is this too simple ...? , if so show us the code

A question from a Word VBA newcomer..

Having a problem getting a user form to see a background document....

The code works fine when the template file is open ( as in not just double
clicked on it to create a new document from the template ), however, when I
do want to use the template properly, nothing happens.

The userform has a calendar control on it and I use the "click" method of
this control to generate a date which I want to put in the main document. It
just does not want to recognise the "activedocument" method.  I can
"debug.print" the "activedocument.name" and even set a variable to the
"activedocument.name", but when I try to use it, no chance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts

Nige......
