Here is a simpler Access form that does the same thing and will work in all
versions of Access (with conversion). The Date Picker control does not work
in Access 2010:

This one uses less resource too, so you're ahead there as well.

At the moment the user needs to click the textbox, and then on the
datepicker symbol to open the datepicker control. I am looking for a
way to open the datepicker automatically when the user enters into the
textbox, either through clicking on it or entering during the tab
cycle.

For example to open a combo box when the user's cursor enters it you
use "Screen.ActiveControl.Dropdown" in a function that is called from
the form objects "onenter" method. I'm looking for something similar
for the datepicker control.
