Trevor,
Thanks for the reply and for checking on that. I had kind of assumed
that I wouldn't be allowed to create a calendar if an element or
attribute was invalid (I'd run into that behavior with some of the
other attributes) so I thought I'd gotten it right with just 'Mountain
Time'. I'll modify my scripts accordingly.
I'll also post a request for a batch access to the calendar feed
simply because someone else might be in a similar situation to mine
where batch calendar creation is useful. I can work around it and my
calendars should only each need to be created once, but it may be
useful for someone in the future.
Thanks for getting back to me; I'm glad I wasn't just imagining the
quirky behavior.
