Open and edit single appointment in recurring appointment series

Outlook 2003 will not allow me to open and edit a single appointment in a recurring appointment series. If I select the entire series I can open the all recurring appointments in the series for editing. I am able to view the single appointment in the reading preview pane, but cannot edit. Can anyone help?
 
You can't open a single occurrence of a recurring appointment in a table
view. AFAIK, the only way to open a single occurrence is to double-click
the occurrence in Day/Week/Month view, and then it should ask you whether
you want to edit that occurrence or the whole series.

Thanks-- I'm aware of how to open the single appointment, my frustration is that my Outlook 2003 will not open the single appointment in the series doing it the way it should be done. The only way I can even see the single appointment is in the read pane.
 
Is there an error message when opening the exception or does the dialog that
prompts to open the series or exception not even appear?

The only known issue is read only calendars will not allow you to open the
exception. So a read-only public folder or a sharepoint calendar will have
this behavior.

Correction to my statement:

The only known issue is read only calendars will not allow you to open an
instance that is not already an exception. So a read-only public folder or
a sharepoint calendar will have this behavior.
 
I am having the same problem. I am using Franklin
Planner's Plan Plus 2.0 software, but I am not sure where
the problem is there or Microsoft. When I open the window
it shows the frame draw and then it closes with out an
error message.

Is anyone else using Franklin's add-in and experiencing
the problem?

Hopefully this will not be a duplicate of a reply I sent earlier and for which I received an error message. The appointment is not in a public folder nor is it in a sharepoint calendar--and I too am using Franklin PlanPlus 2.0 for Outlook 2003. When I double-click on the appointment, I get the appropriate dialogue box asking me to open the series or this occurrence. If I click on "open the series" then the appointment will open and allow me to edit or perform whatever action I may choose; however, if I click on "open this occurrence" nothing happens except that I get an a scroll down bar that flickers in and out of the middle of my screen.
 
I'm looking into this and will update this thread when I have more
information.

Thanks to everyone for bringing this issue to our attention.
