a user can potentially go crazy with how they schedule something.
they could say an appointment occurs at 9 - 12 noon every day and have it recur every hour.
That means you have tons of overlapping schedules on the calendar. This seems to put a heavy toll on the script to render that.

just wondering if others can comment on how they've been dealing with this.

Hi towps,

You can use the advanced templates and provide only specific recurrence options.

I don't think I've seen anything in that article that will help me.
Correct me if I'm wrong or perhaps can you be more specific?

How can I prevent a user from creating a 5 hour long appointment that recurs every hour or something like this?

Although on your example however, the rendering seems to work fine and not prompt a script error.
has anyone else ran into any script errors when rendering lots of appointments on the calendar?

Hi,

As Peter mentioned, you can customize the edit form and remove various options, for example the Hourly recurrence option. Another option is to handle the AppointmentInsert event and inspect appointments that are about to be inserted and cancel the inserting if they don't match some criteria.

Kind regards,
