You need to set up the Date argument. See Drupal therapy's video tutorial on this http://www.drupaltherapy.com/date. Also here's an output a properly configure calendar view

$view = new view;
$view-&gt;name = 'calendar';

$view-&gt;api_version = 2;
$view-&gt;disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
