Exceptions are a possibility but you should not make every recurrence an
exception.

I am having my IT Department look into that. Thank you!

I think I may have discovered a way to manipulate a recurring appointment
to
my liking.

I know it is possible for Microsoft to set it up so you can schedule a
meeting multiple times without a "pattern" so why will they not do
that?

If you "know it is possible", state your proof.

Let's not get hung up in the lingo but focus more on the end users
whose
companies purchased this product so they could perform their jobs in a
more
efficient manner. This takes up an ridiculous amount of time.

Regretfully, since computer programs are finite state machines, you MUST
"focus on the lingo". Terms have spoecific meanings within the context
of
the program and whether you like it or not, within Outlook, recurring
items
REQUIRE a pattern. What GroupWise does or does not do is irrelevant.

If you want a tool that will help you create non-regular sequences of
events, purchase this:
