Hi

I have just started to use the Calendar Schedule object and am mystified by the syntax use for a date string.

I see in the example code several uses of a variable between square braces.
Eg.
Dim [date] as String
or
Notes(EO.Web.Calendar.StringToDate([date])) = note

Can any one help with an explanation of the reason for, or effect of enclosing an identifier between square braces ?

Regards Phil K

Hi,

That tells the compiler to interpret it as a variable, even though it has the same spelling as a keyword.

Thanks!
