LC7Web,
No problem. Ok, I've got the basic concept working. I need two more pieces of information. First, we have to have a way of differentiating appointments that open a web site from those that don't. What do you want to use to control this? Right now I'm using a Category. But we could key on something else so long as we can use it consistently. Second, do appointments meeting the criteria all open the same web site, or would some appointments open one site and others open another? If the latter, then where do you want to store the web site address the appointment will open?

A category is fine.
Appointments meeting the criteria open diffrent websites.
For exmaple, at 9:00 am i want to launch the website www.newday.com, so i can read the mornings news.
Then at 12:00 launch a diffrent site.
etc..
I dont know where to store them?

Since they aren't actual meetings, would it be okay to use the Location field?

No problem. Happy to help out.
> launch a website
I'm not clear on what you mean. Do you mean a link in the appointment that the user will click on, or do you mean that when the appointment time hits you want the appointment to open the web site, or perhaps that you want the website to open any time the user opens the appointment?
Cheers!
