	Hi.....Again.. I need to set the appointment location based on the location key. I have the key (I get this as part of a drag event from another control) and need to return the location for that key..i have used the Id but need to do this using the key instead. Thanks

	I mean the key (Primary Key) from the dataset. Each table has an Id and a primary key. Due to the fact that the "Key" is what links everything together (the relationship between Items, Contacts, Resources and Locations) and that I am not using the save to method, I would like to use the "Key" Column to retrieve and update data. I would also like to use it to add locations to an appointment. For example, Code For Each l as location In Calendar.Schedule.Locations If Location.Key = MyKey Then e.Item.Location = l Next I know this won't work but is there something similar??

	Hi, If you are loading the schedule data manually from a database, you can store the primary key in the location's Tag property. Then compare the specified MyKey to Location.Tag. Alternatively you can create a Key<->Location mapping during load then look-up for the location, given its primary key. Regards, Meppy

	Hi, I see no way of binding the Key to a Location property using the built-in databinding because the Key is already used in a binding. Maybe you can still manually create a Key<->Location map during loading and use this map to find locations given their keys. Also, is it an option to rework the drag data to supply the Id (rather than the Key) of the appointment? Regards, Meppy
