Jeff, Are you using the API v3? From what I'm reading versions 1 and 2 are deprecated and it appears they will be turned off in November of this year. For a few years, I've had VFP code working on v1 using XML. Version 3 uses json. We decided to use the .NET library available for the calendar. I am just at the end of the tunnel doing some last minute additions. The authorization process makes it easy for a customer to authorize access to the wrong google account. If someone is already logged into a Google account, the authorization page comes straight up. The only way to know which account you are connecting to is by looking up in the right corner to see which email is there. This makes it easy for an employee to attempt to connect the process to a company Google account, and actually connect it to their personal one.
