The drop down list doesn't require any special references but the datepicker is another matter. The Greg Maxey page you pointed us at includes the following information

"Note: Unfortunately Microsoft no longer includes the Microsoft Windows Common Control-2-6-0 (SP3) in the resource library. You need this reference for the DateAndTimePicker control to work. If you are unable to find it in the list of available resources then you will need to download MSCOMCT2.OCX (see Office Help & Support KB 297381). Once you save MSCOMCT2.OCX in your system directory (e.g., C:\Windows\System32 on 32-bit or C:\Windows\Syswow64 on 64-bit), you need to register it. Click "Start" then "Run," type in regsvr32 and then the path to the file e.g., c:\windows\syswow64\mscomct2.ocx, then click OK. If you don't want to go the trouble of doing this, I have included a second Userform in the .dot version of the Student Survey Form template that substitutes a Textbox control for birthday and omits the DateAndTimePicker control."
