It's an old activex control no longer needed in most cases, because we now have a small calendar icon built in for date fields.

Code window > Tools > References and uncheck it if it is listed.

Then Debug > Compile 

If no errors, you're probably fine.

Or you may have to open each form in design view to see if it has a calendar control on it, then remove that and fix up possible code that was using it.
