Hello,

when I change a recurring appointment, I get a message saying that any
exceptions to the changes will be lost. How can I change the recurrence
without losing the exceptions? Is it possible to save these exceptions in
the calendar?

Thanks,
Randy
 
Please send this request to anyone you know at Microsoft with any pull
whatsoever. I posted on this very thing and I get the impression that many
have. This design error makes recurring appointments nearly useless and is
indicative of very lazy programming with respect to making a feature useful
rather than making a feature technically reliable. In other words by
rewriting all recurring records the programmer of this feature has made it
very reliable because he/she has reused one piece of code but has made the
feature functionally many times less useful and has disrespected user data, a
huge problem, to boot. Frankly I would take the person who designed it this
way to the woodshed or the pink slip room it is so stupid but who am I to say.

Oh yea, a user that has been burned badly
 
Hello Bill, have a look at WS:Repeat Appointment II. This may go someway
towards meeting your requirement although does not address your primary
issue in that this is an add on to Outlook and not part of the basic design.
