Infopath Form to SharePoint 2007 Calendar

[bmerri19]

If I create a form with dates, how can I have the form update a SharePoint
2007 calendar.

I have two different scenarios - one is a maintenance calendar. I would like
the user to input the action date and then have a SharePoint calendar get
updated.

My other scenario is a employee leave request - the employee requests
certain dates for vacation and I would like to link that info to a SharePoint
calendar.

Probably missing something obvious, but still a rookie...

Thanks,
Brian

Hi! I also have the same question, but for use within SP 2003...

I need to post absence requests to a SP Calendar...

A SharePoint calendar is nothing else but a list in SharePoint, so you can
use the UpdateListItems web method of the Lists web service to add an item to
a SharePoint calendar. Check out this great article by Matt on how to add an
item to a list:
http://www.infopathdev.com/howto/tutorials/default.aspx?i=7bc880f391b84ea9b3b45c6fbecc07c6

If you are using date pickers and you want to maintain your user interface,
you'll have to write code to fill the values of the Batch XML and call the
web service. It shouldn't be too difficult to do.

I might write an article on this, since it seems to be confusing for more
folks; I make no promises, though.

Same answer: Look into using the UpdateListItems of the Lists web service
that comes with WSS.
