Not exactly. The "Start Date" and "End Date" fields were set so that they
appeared in the Caldendar's Tickler section. But one could change these
settings, and create other date-fields that didn't appear in the Calendar.
(For example, if I created a "date stamp" field (i.e., when I added an item,
the current date would appear in that field), I wouldn't want it to appear in
the calendar.)

There was one odd bit about Ecco, dates, and the Calendar. If you added a
_time_ to any data in a Date field, it would always be displayed in the
Calendar.

Great to see another Ecco enthusiast here!
