We're on an Outlook 2007 / Exchange 2008 setup. Here's what happens:

1. Person sends a New Meeting Request for, say, Monday at 9 AM. Everything
works properly and the entry appears as it should on the calendar.

2. Person later decides to change the meeting to, say, Tuesday at 10 AM. So
they open the original entry on the calendar (from step #1 above) and
changes the date to Tuesday and the time to 10 AM, then sends the update.

3. The meeting appears in the new location on the calendar OK but it has
been changed into a recurring event.

I've verified that the recurring option is not chosen when the meeting is
updated and sent, and the calendar entry can be opened and have its
recurrence turned off. However, I can't figure out how the recurrence is
being enabled.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Is it recurring just on the old date and new date?

Are they using the same computer to create and change it? There is a
similar problem with Dell's media direct add-in but it would make the
original recurring too.

No, the original entry is non-recurring and is recorded on the calendar
properly. Only when the entry is opened on the calendar and changed to a
different date does the recurrence mysteriously become activated despite the
recurrence control not being touched.

But when it becomes recurring - what is the date spam and pattern? Does
it change to 2 days - the orginial and the new one, or daily with no end
date?

It gets set to weekly recurrence.

So here's the pattern:

1. Person sends a New Meeting Request -- single day and time, no recurrence.
It appears on the calendar just as it should. Everything is OK at this
point.

2. Person later decides to change the meeting's day or time. They open the
original entry on the calendar (from step #1 above) and changes the date
and/or time and sends the update.

3. The meeting moves to the new location on the calendar OK except it has
been changed into a weekly recurring event at the new day/time.
