Bill, On Maverick?
I have no problem controlling MS Excel by executing AS scripts within LiveCode. I tried your script on Maverick and I can confirm it is very slow. The first time I executed it, iCal requested an authorization for the calendar to be modified by LiveCode. So, after a quick search, I found this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5914?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US It seems that applets must be signed to be authorized to control others applications. The problem is may be in the communication between LiveCode and iCal because of a security layer. I tried to follow the steps described in the Apple tech notes but without success.
