From: KeithB on 3 Jul 2008 19:04 Brian, thank you for our response to my question. I can delete each appointment individually, however when I try to stop the recurrence (my appointments that I want to cancel go out to 2009) and I set the date for the last appointment (in the Appointment Recurrence window) as today, I get this message: "The recurrence pattern is not valid". I do not care about keeping any of these in history. This problem started happening when I mirgrated from Office 2003 to Office 2007. Thanks again for your efforts.

Have you tried copying the recurring event to a different calendar folder and then tried the change there? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Dear Brian, Thank you for sharing your expertise about Outlook. I find the handling of recurrent appointments in Outlook 2007 to be cumbersome and sloppy. I schedule patients, who have recurring appointments that often change, and I need to keep the history of the schedule intact. Often (too often to use an export/import workaround) I need the function "change future appointments," which doesn't exist. The solution I use is to keep my calendar synchronized with Google Calendar, which handles this particular issue more logically, and to make the change in the Google calendar. I sure wish, though, that Outlook could simply let me change future occurrences and end dates.
