How to alter recurring appointments in future only?

I schedule clients to be seen on a weekly basis using recurring appointment
option in Outlook 2003.  After the appointment, I update the "planned time"
to the "actual time" we met.  When I need to end or change a recurring
appointment, Outlook resets all the past back to the original "planned
times".  If I had deleted one of the recurring appointments, Outlook puts it
back in when I make a change.

How can I change or stop a recurring appointment, without Outlook 2003
automatically going back and reseting the information in past appointments to
the information of the planned apointments?  I want to use Outlook to keep
track of actual times  I meet with clients.

Why not add to the meeting a note entry containing the actual time you met?

Thank you for giving this suggestion.  I could add in the memo the acutual
time, however, when I would need to count up direct service times, I would
need to open each entry to get that information, a time consuming
propostition.  Also I sometimes put in another client's name when one client
cancels and I can fill the position, that information is lost when Outlook
2003 resets the appointment back to the original client.

Anyone else know if Outlook 2003 have a way to change only future
appointments?

Since recurring appointments are only single entries, not separate entries
for each occurrence, without creating a new appointment for the future
dates, I don't see how.
