Nick, Thank you for the feedback. You are absolutely correct about the month view. It was the first thing I created, and haven't touched it since. If you look closely, I did put in dataGrids to eventually display the data for each date, just haven't gotten back to finish that part up. My concern is how useful I can make that view, given the limitations of space to fit a months worth of data on the screen.
About the dataProvider. I certainly am working towards a more generic dataProvider approach. Thank you for taking some of your time to try out the component and provide your feedback. Please keep playing with it.
