A 16-bit Visual Basic program containing the calendar control from the Access
Developer's Toolkit, version 2.0 causes an application error if Microsoft Office
is running in the background and you run the Visual Basic program in a 32-bit
operating system. This behavior does not occur under the 16-bit operating
system.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be an issue in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. Microsoft is researching this issue and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
