    Just throwing another idea into the pool...

    First off, is this an intranet app? If so, a browser standard should allow you to do XML client side (in theory). If so, this could be relatively simple...

    What I'm getting at is -?ReadViewEntries- and the optional URL arguments that were added for the iNotes team (without these, don't ask me how they'd have accomplished the Calendar portion of iNotes). OK, by now it's Domino Web Access instead of iNotes...I'll catch up. :-)

    The ones in question are:

    - KeyType

    - StartKey

    - UntilKey

    With KeyType, you can tell Domino to treat the StartKey and UntilKey as dates (check "URL Commands" in Designer Help, or the link above for "website"). Here's a snippet:

    -----

    If &KeyType=time is specified, then &StartKey and &UntilKey may be ISO date time values. For example, you might use the time value 20020101T140000,00Z to represent 9:00AM Eastern standard Time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or you might use the time value 20020101T090000,00-05 to represent the same date and time in local time plus offset.

    -----

    Using those, and client side XML transforms, all you'd need is a view sorted by EventDate. Avoid the daily agent, avoid numerous folders, and avoid @Today selection formulas. Then again, I'm probably missing something. :-)

    Of course key factor is whether or not requirements allow you to code for only AJAX capable browsers...
