Make sure there's no space before the ?

Yes, or even:

RewriteRule ^calendarDetails\.html/([A-Za-z]+)/([0-9]+)$ / 
calendarDetails.cfm?$1=$2 [NC]

This means that /XXX/123 would provide ?XXX=123.

Also, if you add /? before the $, then /XXX/123/ would work as well  
as /XXX/123 (personally, I always have one of my first rules that  
forces the trailing slash to be either present or not present - better  
for SEO, and making sure you don't have 2 URLs for the same page).


I would also recommend starting your .htaccess file with the following:

RewriteEngine On
RepeatLimit 200
RewriteBase /

The RewriteBase directive means that every matched expression (the  
first half of the RewriteRule) is started after the root / of the  
website (^ means the beginning of the string to match, $ means the end).

Having the ^ at the beginning also means that the regex would match 
http://www.my.com/calendarDetails.html/EID/123 
  but not http://www.my.com/directory/calendarDetails.html/EID/123. If  
you removed it, you could have any number of characters appearing  
before the calendarDetails.html...
