Had an instance where some calendar entries were Being Modified and
no one
will take responsibility for them. Is there a method to view the
change history of an event? and if not is it a possible future
improvement to the system.

next version.

Thanks Diane for your consideration concerning my Outlook Calendars issue. I
did find another article which talks about the issue I am experiencing.

Recurring Meeting Bug
Outlook turns all Meetings into Recurring Meetings
This "bug" affects only Dell laptops with Media Direct. This is really not
an Outlook bug - it's caused by an add-in Dell ships with their laptops that
support Media Direct.

Dell laptops include an application called Media Direct and this application
installs an Outlook add-in called "Outlook Setup Addin" (outlookaddin.dll)
which causes problems for some users. This add-in supports the Instant Office
feature of Media Direct. Uninstall it from Control panel, Add and Remove
Programs to prevent the problem with future meeting requests. You can also
disable it in Tools, Options, Other, Add-ins (Outlook 2003) or Tools, Trust
Center, Add-ins (Outlook 2007).

Along with causing meeting requests to become recurring, it doesn't work
well with Outlook 2007 and is responsible for at least some of the complaints
about Outlook 2007's slowness and CPU resources spiking.

This add-in is responsible for creating Calendar folders in My Documents
when you work with attachments.

What is MediaDirect? What is MediaDirect and Instant Office? Media Direct
lets you play DVD's without booting into windows. Instant Office is a way to
quickly view certain items on the computer when the computer is powered down.
It's a pretty cool idea, too bad it doesn't play nicely with Outlook.

Description of the MediaDirect feature taken from the Dell website:

Dell Exclusive: MediaDirect featuring Instant Office Dell MediaDirect puts
your media and more at your fingertips. Now it also gives you "instant on"
access to your calendar, contacts and presentations. With the computer off,
one press of the MediaDirect button gives you quick access to items on your
hard drive, optical drive, a USB key or from the integrated 5-in-1 media
card, including:
Videos
Music
Photo slideshows
"Instant Office" featuring Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, Microsoft Outlook
and Outlook Express Calendar Viewer, and Microsoft Outlook and Outlook
Express Contact Viewer
More Information •Recurring Meetings Bug? - EMO March 15, 2007

I am not sure how to post this fix if someone else runs into this issue.
This is my first time trying to find help through the Microsoft discussion
groups. Would you be so kind to make sure this information gets posted to the
correct area for others to use in the future.

Thank you,

Tom O'Shea

As long as you solved the problem, I'm happy. Note that if you had
mentioned the recurring meetings, we coulda told you the culprit.

Exchange may be able to shed some light on it, but I don't believe Outlook
keeps any records. Ask your Exchange admin.
