Date format: When reporting time, some of our staff are seeing a screen that allows them to choose Start and End dates (which we prefer) and some are seeing a screen that allows them to choose a date and then Number of days prior.

The Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control is sometimes installed on the client. If it is, TimeCard uses it. If it is not, it will use the days before solution instead. To make sure everybody uses the date dropdown, please do the following:
  1. Find the hidden system file MSCOMCT2.OCX which can usually be found in C:\WINDOWS\System32\ or C:\WINNT\System32\ on a machine that already has the calendar dropdowns (source).

  2. Copy the file to the machine that shows the days before solution (target). Place it in the windows directory as on the source machine.

  3. On the target machine go to the Command Prompt through Start-Run-CMD.

  4. Type in Regsvr32 MSCOMCT2.OCX.
To perform the above actions you will need to be a local administrator on at least the target machine.
