Dave That would be brillant !
I am pretty sure that a lot of people would find it useful. There are a number of publicly available iCal/ICS files for (e.g.) public holidays (often on a country-by-country basis) which it would be great to be able to query from VFP. I guess it would be too much to hope that it might be possible to access/query them from FPD26 ! ATB Paul Dave Crozier wrote: > Paul, > Well it is in C# so no problem.
