Ok, I'm probably just old, tired and slow but I am having an extremely difficult time getting the Calendar to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database and then populate the events.
Does anyone have a function or small sample that they could share?
Thanks!

Maybe I should give more explanation of what I am trying to do.
I have 2 tables in a sql server database. One for employees and one for days they request to have off for any number of reasons (Vacation, Personal, Sick, Jury Duty, etc...)
I just want a person to be able to fill out a form with the reason of the request from a combo box, a start date and an end date. I have that data being stored in the database with no problem. The problem comes with trying to get the event to display on the calendar. It seems that, unless I am missing something which I probably am, it is more complicated than it needs to be.
Sorry to sound cranky. One of those days.
Thanks!

Ok. After some sleep and some time not thinking about it at all, I took another look and figured it out enough to get done what I need. It's actually pretty simple.
With rsDays
.Open sql, db, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly
Do While Not .EOF
Set NewEvent = Calendar.DataProvider.CreateEvent
NewEvent.StartTime = CDate(!StartDate)
NewEvent.EndTime = DateAdd("d", 1, CDate(!EndDate))
NewEvent.AllDayEvent = True
NewEvent.Label = !RequestTypeID
NewEvent.Subject = !FirstName & " " & !LastName & "-" & !RequestType
NewEvent.Body = !FirstName & " " & !LastName & "-" & !RequestType
'NewEvent.ReminderSoundFile = ".."
Calendar.DataProvider.AddEvent NewEvent
Calendar.Populate
.MoveNext
Loop
.Close
End With

I'd also suggest to change this piece of code by calling Calendar.Populate at the end of the loop to avoid some overhead calculations.
