Can I join in this topic because we here at our University are currently
migrating from Groupwise (Novell) to Outlook and I have discovered when doing
the Introductory training yesterday that I will no longer be able to make
multiple random appointments for meetings and that one job that used to take
me 45 minutes will, once migrated, take me 9 hours to set up 15 separate
weekly meetings for 1-1s with our Directorates 12 Managers on various days
when the Director is available for the next three months. The times of the
meetings remain the same with just the days of the week changing to fit round
other appointments/off campus etc. Are there any plans for Microsoft to wake
up to this problem which seems to be fairly common and address it? Groupwise
is, at present, looking to me to be a much more sophisticated package because
it doesn't believe in 'the tail wagging the dog!'

That's what I thought. Thank you for confirming it! Good to know I wasn't
just crazy. :-)

Was it possible in 2003 or was the other user mistaken when they told me
that?

you can only do recurring if there is a pattern for the occurrence

I've been told that in Outlook 2003 it was possible to setup randomly
recurring appointments. I never used it, so I wouldn't now. However, I
definitley do not see a way to do this in 2007. My appointment will
occur
every month but not on the same day or date of each month.

Is it possible to do this and I'm simply not seeing the options? I'm
using
the Exchange version of Outlook. (Not being a techie I don't know how
better
to explain that. :-))
