Personally, I would have a checkbox which would simply state : recurring
event with a duration flag... i.e. Weekly, Monthly, Daily etc....once
clicked it should be able to insert the event at each date/time from that
point forward... you have got the basis of the calendar and indeed it should
be fairly simple to modify it so..

Subject: How to handle Calendar Scheduling of Recurring Events?


Hi, all.

I was wondering about the various approaches that have been taken to
scheduling
recurring events in a calendar?

I haven't worked with auto-insertion of recurring events, but now is
the time for my calendar creation to become more sophisticated.

Should I insert data for "one-time" events in one table and data
for "recurring" events in another with the user specifiying daily,
weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc...and have code that
checks that table and auto-inserts those events when the day/dates
are checked?

How would I handle the City Council meeting that is scheduled on
"the 2nd Tuesday of each month."  Would I have the person inputting
the data fill out or check fields for "1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.", then "Tuesday,
Wednesday, etc.",
each "Week, Month, Year" or whatever?  (That could get really
complicated...)
Just let them handle that kind of insertion manually?

Perspectives?
(If anyone knows of any tutorials that address this subject,
a link would be most appeciated!)

Thanks, and good morning!

Rick
