I made my own calendar control as a VBA form. I found I could not use MSCAL.ocx for my 64 bit clients. You are welcome to give it a try.

I was getting the exact same errors when I installed a macro for a client yesterday running Office 2007 on Windows 7. It turns out the problem is with the new and improved security settings. The simple solution was to remove the security settings for the folder the file was in. After removing the security settings; the macro ran perfect and we did not need to install mscal.ocx.

Unfortunately I do not have access to Windows 7 any more and I cannot recall the exact steps but the way I found the path to unlock the folder was by attempting to run another Excel file with a simpler macro that does not require mscal.ocx. The ensuing error in that case specified the real reason and provided a link explaining how to change the security settings.

I hope that helps,
Paul
