Re: Q: re dynamic scheduling

[Doug Donalson;]

Check to see that the event is actually being created.
The add event statement returns the id of the new action.
Add "theId=[]" and check to see that it is not null.

That is the first step anyway.  I play with these
quite a bit so feel free to email me directly if
you want.

Cheers,

    Doug
