Is there any way to create repeating events that will be displayed on a Views calendar(http://drupal.org/project/calendar) with DateAPI(http://drupal.org/project/date) and CCK?

Date Repeat API

Bundled with the Date module is Date Repeat API. You can enable it at admin/build/modules. Blessings! -NP

I have tried that

I have tried using that, I guess I am not setting it up properly. When I create an event that repeats, rather than Views calendar displaying every individual time the event repeats, it only displays it once on the start date. Than in the pop-up for the event it says what dates the event repeats on, but the calendar does not have individual places on the stated for each time the event occurs. Hope I explained this well. I guess I am not configuring something correctly.

Any ideas?

Check the date that the view is using

I just setup a similar calendar for a site that is under development. By default, the calendar view uses the update date, or creation date (?), for the "event" (don't use the Event module) for selection. You need to change this to your date field.

Hope this helps,
Curt

Thanks guys for your help. I followed that tutorial from Drupal therapy and now can make dates repeat on the calendar.
