All Invitations end up "recurring"

I've started getting a problem recently w/ Outlook 2003 SP2. Every
time someone sends me an Invitation, it ends up in "recurring" mode.
Since this happened, I've watched the process. When the item comes in
to my Inbox, I can switch to the Calendar and it looks normal
(non-recurring). But, as soon as I accept, it changes to recurring!

Any idea what could be causing this? I've been using Outlook for
years, and I'm quite versed at using it. I even have some nice VBA
functions for automating Calendar/Task stuff. I've checked that,
though, and even added debug code:

Private Sub CalendarItems_ItemAdd(ByVal myItem As Object)
If (myItem.IsRecurring) Then
MsgBox ("This is recurring!")
...
End If
....

The "IsRecurring" property is read-only, though, so the VB code can't
be turning the appointment into a recurring appt.


Thanks in advance,

Nevermind. I hadn't changed my code lately, but an Outlook update must
have been applied thru IT. The behavior definitely changed, but it is
documented:

IsRecurring Property
True if the appointment or task is a recurring appointment or task.
When the GetRecurrencePattern method is used with an AppointmentItem or
TaskItem object, this property is set to True. Read-only Boolean.

I used the GetRecurrencePattern method later in that Sub, and it was
turning on recurrence. My bad...
