Thanks for the reply.
I tried using the calendar from the admin interface, but I cannot seem
to get it working (ie it wont display the calendar). I must be missing
something, since it works fine for the admin interface :-/
I copied the javascript and css files mentioned into my site media
directory and ensured the paths are all correct...

Dan.
