No experience, but here's a though or two-

MS calendar control is great for picking and looking at dates, but I have a feeling that's all you'l find it useful for here. If you wanted to created a program that used a table of appointments/reminders, this would be a good tool for actually getting the dates.

MS Outlook, IMHO, does a pretty good job as an appointment keeper. How far you integrate into your program depends on what you want to do. If you want a program that uses system data or logic to insert appointments reminders into the users Outlook schedule, this is fairly easy. (Make sure you have the Outlook VBA help file on the Office disk). You also might want to check around here in the files section and the knowledge base for sammple code.
