Thanks Doug. I appreciate the example. I had been wrestling w/ getting the feed to save as 'text/attachment' via a WestWind process, but found that it needed to be more of an in-line/JSON-esque feed. Working well, at the moment.

>>I am building a routine that creates iCalendar ICS files from data in a VFP database. Basically VEVENT entries only. I am curious if others have already done this and can comment on required content (UID, DTSTAMP, ORGANIZER for example) or the need for VTIMEZONE use, or any issues that you have encountered.
