Access 2007 date picker property

In Access 2007, I have the "show date picker" property set to "for dates" for
a date field in a form based on a table. The date picker does not show up
when I use the field.

Remove anything in the Input Mask and Format properties of the control.

If that doesn't fix it, Access does not recoginse the control as bound to a
date/time field. If it is an unbound control, try setting Format to General
Date.

Thanks Allen - the field had an input mask carried forward from the table
that contains it. When I removed the mask, the date picker magically
appeared. Thanks very much for your help.
