Ok, I get it. That is not normal behavior. Have your tried using the
HELP menu DETECT AND REPAIR... option?

dear nikki-
i think we aren't on the same wave length...i'll try once more, if i may,
to
explain my problem. if you're tired of dealing with this, i'll
understand,
just say so.
-so i create a new recurrance.
-a few weeks into it, i change the date of ONE occurrance within the
recurrance.
- a few more weeks go by and i decide to change the end date of the entire
recurrance
-now, when i look back at the past history of the recurrance, the ONE date
i
changed now has been shifted back to it's original position, negating the
date of this exception.
-i need an accurate record of the ACTUAL date of the exception, but now
i've
lost it due to changing the original end date of the recurrance.
-are you saying that everytime i need to change one occurance within a
recurrance, i need to end the original recurrance and start over?
sorry for the confusion. what is intuitive to me is not always what is
intuitive to billy gates...
thanks for your help

I did understand from the first message. That is why I suggest that
you need to end the recurrance and start a new one with the new
information.

To end the recurrence, just edit the ending date to the date of the
last meeting that was as it was originally setup. This will keep all
the history and start a fresh recurrence to continue with.

hi nikki-
thank you for your response. i think i wasn't quite clear enough with
my
question, so i'll try again:
1)i set up a recurrence
2)as time goes on, sometimes i have to shift one or a few of the
occurances,
so i do that, no problem
3)then later on in time, i want to change the end the recurrance
4)problem is that if i make a change of any kind, even changing the
end
date
of an existing recurrance, it resets all occurances in the past, even
the
few
i had shifted
5)i need an accurate record of the actual date of each occurance in
the
past
of that recurrance, but now, the program has moved those few
appointments
i
had shifted manually within the recurrance back into the original
recurrance
schedule.
i hope i got my question clearer this time....thank you for any help
you
can
be,
sfpe

The RECURRENCE function is to make appointments that are
the same. When a change occurs you need to END the
recurring appointment and then start a new recurring appointment
with the new information.

If it is only a 1 time change, but all future meetings will continue
at the same time as originally planned, then you would open
only "This Occurence" not the series and make the change on
that one only.

I am frustrated with the reccurrence function in that when you
change
anything about an existing occurrence, it changes even past-dated
recurrences...is there any way around this, such as maybe locking
past-dated
material on the calendar?
thank you for your help...
