From the "Mini Window Edit Appointment" layout, it looks to me like the only way to cancel the process of creating a new appointment is to click the "delete" button, then "yes" to confirm the deletion. So, for example, if I begin a new appointment, then change my mind and decide not to create it after all, I actually need to "delete" that half-baked appointment.

Am I correct about this?

If so, I'd like to add a "cancel" button to this layout, that would allow me to exit, without creating a new appointment.

I'm guessing that this is more complicated than it sounds - since otherwise, you probably would have added such a button already! (Am I right)?

You are. We set things up this way to keep things simple because we're using the same layout to create and to edit the appointment. If we gad a "cancel" button there, it would seem to imply that users could cancel an edit of an appointment as well. This is not something we've included in the calendar-again to keep things simple.

Right again. What you can do is make the label of the current delete button into a global field and set it to read "cancel" when you're creating a new appointment and "delete" when you're editing an appointment. This gets a little tricky, since you could begin editing an appointment, then click "dupe" to create a new one, etc. You'd have to decide if the action of duping should change the label to "cancel".

Hope that helps.

Got it. Thanks!
