Default Getting rid of all recurring appointments on a day

Hi there

I tried synching my MSOutlook with Palm Desktop using a piece of
software called DesktopMirror.

It all worked great until I noticed that now every contact had a
birthday reminder on 29th December in Outlook.

Unfortunately, you can't seem to select all the reminders at once and
then when you do delete them a box comes up asking you whether to
delete just this one or the whole series. You can imagine how
tiresome this is going to be for over 1000 contacts...

So, can anybody please tell me what code I need in order to do this
job for me automatically?

Many, many thanks
Lloyd

You don't need code, just set the calendar view to Recurring Appointments.
In that table view just select everything you want deleted and you can
delete them all at once.
