When on calendar with week view and I click on the show next week button the program goes into an endless loop in the script: Insert iCal File Into Calendar { UseExistingData }. Apparently the last Exit Loop If is not being meet. Any ideas?

This really is a great calendar John with great documentation. A pleasure to work with.

Thanks,
Will

The problem is with my newly added iCal source for US Holidays. It does display them, but it shows Labor Day on both yesterday and today. All the other holidays are showing up double as well. When I go to the next or previous week the endless loop occurs. The same URL shows up correctly in Calendar. Do I need to limit the time frame for getting holidays?
Any ideas?

Hey Will; which version of the calendar do you have?

You know, while holidays seem like a great use for iCal sources, most iCal files encode their holidays using repeat rules, and our iCal source implementation doesn't understand repetitions. Plus, since adding an iCal source can slow things down... and holidays don't change... it would be ideal to create a FileMaker source for holidays, or even import them into your main events table (for maximum speed). I'll see what I can do about putting together an FMP table of US holidays for this purpose.

I have 5.54

Having a good source of holidays, via FMP or iCal, would seem like it would be great benefit for all of us.

Thanks,
Will
