1)Set the LOV of the item for which calendar to be attached as ENABLE_LIST_LAMP LOV, which is included in the TEMPLATE form.
2)Set ?Validate from List? to 'No' in the property palette of that item .
3)Then in KEY?LISTVAL trigger of that item write
calendar.show;

If you are using Oracle forms 6i, You can use the resuable component called calendar, It will come along with the sample forms,
Just write the Key list val trigger on a button to call this form

I created a custom form using template.fmb. I used the ENABLE_LIST_LAMP
for a date field in a block with tab page and used everything as per your instructions. When I go to the
date field the calendar pops up out of my custom form and when I select the date it puts back in the current field. I don't want the calendar to popup outside of the custom form. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
