Fairly simple. I have a Product I called EventScheduler or something (it's at work, I am at home), that basically
sublasses Event, and aghs the reschedule method like you talked about. So far, I have Daily Event and Weekly Event. They
should work, but they haven't been in use long enough to know. I did it this afternoon (my time: US/Mountain), so I'll
know tomorrow on the Daily.
