I'm trying out CalendarScript for implementation at a university; I have authorization for purchase if it tests OK. The test calendar is posted at http://www.sulross.edu/cgi-bin/calendar.pl

I created a master calendar and everything went without a hitch. However, I've created some additional calendars for departments and have now run into a calendar admin problem.

If I try to add an event to one of the secondary calendars or edit one of the existing events, about half the time during the process the program tries to switch calendars on me.

For instance: I am trying to add an event to the fine arts calendar. I enter the title and description, then click the save button to move to the time/date screen. If I am logged in as the administrator, the program will switch to the default calendar and if I'm not watching carefully the event gets posted to that calendar by accident. If I'm logged in as a user with permissions limited to the fine arts calendar, I get the message that I don't have permission to access the (default) calendar.

I read the recent posting on switching calendars and went to check my session and cookie files. I found the session file and discovered that the calendar name is changing in that file as this error occurs.

However, I can't find a cookie file on my computer. Another staff member tested this on his computer and can't find one either. Is there something that would prevent cookies from being created? The university is using an IIS server, though I don't know much more than that. We are checking out the problem from that end.

I've run debug.pl and no problems have been found.

Could anyone shed some light on what's happening here? What would the cookie name look like?

** I can't find a cookie file on my computer. **

They are just temporary cookies and as far as I know, do not get written to  file, just stored in memory until the browser is closed at which time they ttoally disappear.

** If I try to add an event to one of the secondary calendars or edit one of the existing events, about half the time during the process the program tries to switch calendars on me. **

You don't have 2 browsers open and viewing different calendars at the same time do you?

Sometimes I'll have more than IE 6 window open so I can cross-check entries as I go. I'll limit to one window at a time and see if that makes a difference

I've spent the day working with the browser closed, and I've had no problems whatsoever. Thanks so much!

Glad to hear it.

You should be able to get away with having more than one browser open on different calendars using 2 different browsers or browsers on different computers but not both the same.
