Re:Re: Accessing iCal messages - HELP!



Fantastic! Thanks.

Also I'll need to be able to drag an attendee from my
software and drop it on an iCal event (like you can do
with Address Book). Any ideas how I can do that? I
know Address Book uses VCard but have no idea how to
create it within a custom app.

Cheers
Jeff
