Automator Won't Get Recurring iCal Evnts

Hey there,

I've set up a 3-step Automator workflow that generates a TextEdit document with the day's iCal events as follows:

1. Get specified iCal items (from main calendar)
2. Event Summary (for today)
3. New TextEdit Document.

It works fine with one-off events but seems to ignore recurrent events that are on the same calendar as one-off events.

I checked the forums but didn't find an answer. Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Steve

Here's a suggestion I've only just thought of...

In iCal set a daily reminder
Alarm set to Run Script
Select your Automator Script

Hope that helps
