Hi, Howard. Thanks for pointing me to that feature of Outlook. I use Outlook, but hadn't used that feature. The only problem I noticed it didn't solve is the "stickiest" problem of the app: That of handling recurring events that are held with a description like "2nd Tuesday of each month".
Joshua has come with an approach. I've got to give that a look... Thanks for your input. Let us know what you consider when determining your approach to your calendar app. Rick -----Original Message----- From: Owens, Howard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 3:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to handle Calendar Scheduling of Recurring Events? This discussion has come up at a timely time, as I'm getting ready to build a calendar app. I just wanted to point out -- take a look at the recurrence screen in Outlook. It's a pretty intuitive GUI and might provide some useful guidance on how to set up such an interface, provide some good ideas on how to collect data (and what needs to be collected) and provide further data storage hints for the best way to store and retrieve the info. Also, with a bit of JavaScript, the GUI could be emulated pretty nicely.
