>Does anyone have experience with a third-party product called Visual Calendar, or VC, from Blank Software. It is copyrighted 1994-1997. I've inherited an application that uses this product and my task is to convert the application to a client/server environment. While I understand WHAT VC does, how it works is not particularly intuitive--lots of shuffling of data between various arrays. I'm trying to decide whether to convert this tool to use SQL data or look for something a bit more straight-forward. That might not be easy because most calendars are, by nature, rather complex. The client needs to schedule legal hearings that involve both mediators and rooms. I suppose it's not unlike...say, a medical office.

Interesting. I used Visual Calendar a long time ago for an application I wrote for a law firm...wonder if you're working on one of my old applications? hahaha
Anyway - I think it was around 1996 or 1997 when I last used it, and the company Blank Software (I think it was a husband and wife team) had pretty much quit supporting it already by then. There were some changes I had to make to Visual Calendar code to actually get the thing to work right and it was a major pain in the neck. Personally, if you can do it, I'd use something like the stuff from DbiTech, or even try to use MS Outlook automation.
