The use of the DateDiff function in the Calendar Sample application is baffling to me. In the frmEditEvent in the Calendar sample, the following code is listed for the SetStartEnd function,

    If AllDay Then
        cmbEndTime.Visible = False
        cmbStartTime.Visible = False

        If DateDiff("s", EndTime, 0) = 0 Then
            EndDate = EndDate - 1
        End If
    End If

Also in the UpdateEventFromControls routine this code is listed,

    If chkAllDayEvent.Value = 1 Then
        If DateDiff("s", TimeValue(EndTime), 0) = 0 Then
            EndTime = EndTime + 1
        End If
    End If

Can someone clarify what this check is for? I don't see why we have to add a day to the EndTime. I don't understand why the DateDiff is being calculated against a value of 0. I can understand that it is a comparison to see if there is a 0 value for EndTime, but why do they add the number 1 to the EndTime if the EndTime is indeed 0? Why wouldn't they add a 1 to the StartTime instead? Thanks for your feedback.

Sincerely,
