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.
