Ha! This is one of the common beginner's problems :-)

My solution is using a public variable in the form that includes the 
DatePicker. This variable hust holds the date selected by the user.

To know if the user pressed OK or Cancel, ME.Close() can take an integer value 
that is returned by ShowModal(). For example, you can do ME.Close(TRUE) for 
OK and Me.Close(FALSE) (or Me.Close alone, this is the default) for CANCEL. 
Don't forget that if the user closes the form by closing the window, 
ShowModal() will return 0 too.
