Build a Custom Date Picker Popup Form in MS Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to create a custom date picker form with buttons to add or subtract days, weeks, or months from a date field. You'll learn how to build and integrate a functional date selection tool that updates values with ease. We'll then return that value to whatever field you called it from.

Madeline from Elk Grove Village, Illinois (a Platinum Member) asks: I like to make my own little buttons to add days, weeks, or months to date fields, but I don't want to have to do this for every single date field in my database. Is there a way that I can make my own custom date popup picker where I can just attach this to a date field and then return the value?
