Default Explorer.Selection collection, recurring appointment

I understand that it is a known issue with the Explorer.Selection
collection, that when an occurrence of a recurring appointment is
selected, what you get in the Selection collection is the master
appointment, not the occurrence you selected.

Has anyone devised any sort of workaround for this? Is there any way
possible to know what appointment occurrence is selected?

Thanks,
John

Thanks Ken. Does anyone know if this is fixed in OL 2007?

It's the same. There is a property in Outlook 2007 in the calendar module
that would help if it worked, however it's broken so it doesn't work. That's
the CalendarView.DisplayedDates property, which wouldn't tell you what's
selected but it would at least tell you what's being displayed (if it
worked).

AFAIK yes, Outlook 2007 includes the actuall occurrence appointments in the
Selection collection rather than the masters.
