The Events module is active. I can create an Event on a Page, and then if I view the page, I see a link "Calendar". If I go to the target of that link, I see a calendar with that event listed.
But...the URL for the calendar had the form: .../event/2008/09/19. So this URL is not a link to the calendar, but just to a version of the calendar for that one particular event.
How/where do I make the entire calendar available?
As Administrator, I can create events and edit own events. For the other users, I have no permission to do either of those.
Evidently I'm a Drupal newbie...and finding comprehending such things very difficult. I did read the item "Drupal Basics -- Adding an Events Calendar: at http://www.dogstar.org/drupal/node/437, and it sounds as if the calendar should just be there -- somewhere. But i don't know how to make it be available. If there were a specific node for the entire calendar, I could just put a menu item in the sidebar for it, but as I said above I don't see any node for the calendar itself.

I hope you find your answer.
I hope you find your answer. I am trying to implement event calendar functionality also. The event module and its relate module RSVP, signup, event repeat, event views are exactly what I need. But those other modules are not up to v6. So I am using the combination of calendar, cck and date to implement my event calendar. I am not sure if this is the best approach. Basically I define a custom content type 'event' using cck with an 'event_date' field added. Then have calendar display the 'event' node type using the 'event_date' field. I get it working so far. But what to do about RSVP and signup for event?
Me too: I'm using Drupal 5.x, though.
I don't need anything as fancy as RSVP, signup, etc. Just be able to add an Event and have it show up on a page giving the calendar -- a page with a node that's independent of any particular event and to which I can link in the sidebar menu.
You should be able to access
You should be able to access the calendar directly by going to www.example.com/?q=event or www.example.com/event. This will give you a calendar of all events.
Becareful combining the event module with the calendar module, it looks as though support for this will not be continuing that if you want to use the calendar module, you would only use it with the date module. So, if you plan to upgrade to Drupal 6.x in the future, this may cause you issues if you are relying on it too much.

OK, I see now how to link to it
OK, then I just created a menu item with path "event", and that does it.
Does the documentation on this module say that? Does it say that one would see the events on the calendar by going to the URL www...../event ?
You can use cck/calendar/date to do that
I don't understand what you mean by "a page with a node that's independent of any particular event and to which I can link in the sidebar menu."
But to make an event calendar, you can use cck/calendar/date to do it. Use cck to create an 'event' content type. Add an 'event_date' field to it and you are set. Clone the calendar view that comes with the calendar module, modify to call it: set filter by node:type = 'event' and change the date field in 'argument' and 'fields' to 'event_date'. I also created two more views: one a block to display "Up Coming Events" in a list and one to display Up Coming Event in table form.
Take a look at the site I'm working on http://devel.click4printing.info/ , on the right hand side is "Up Coming Events", at the bottom of the list there are links to view event in calendar form and list form.
Let me know if there is anything I can help.
I didn't use cck/calendar to do it
I mean a page that shows a calendar of events, which I found by using path "event" for the link on the menu item I wanted. This is in contrast to the path to a particular event.
The only seemingly relevant modules that are enabled are "Basic event", "Event", and "Event Views". And that, together with the use of path "event" in the menu item link did it.
Easy way to add events to a calendar?
In an earlier post in this thread I described the process I used to create and access an Events calendar. Briefly, I create each event as a separate Event page, and then it automatically gets put onto the Events calendar.
It seems to me a more intuitive process would be this: You start with a displayed calendar (some particular week or month in view); click the day/time block where the event is to be scheduled, and then that opens up a page, or pop-up, or whatever, where one enters the details.
Is such a Google Calendar-like functionality available with some Drupal module?
Adding A Menu Item
As another poster indicated, the calendar (in this case) is living at event/ and you ought to be able to set up a menu item from admin/build/menu entering the appropriate path to the calendar.
