I tried to archive my calender. It all went well with exception of any item
which was part of a recurring entry, even though the event had past. This
meant that viewing the Archived calender there were several gaps.

I am using outlook 2003.

Is this a no win situation or can someone please offer me some advice.

Many Thanks

Do the recurring items have end dates that have also past or are there
future occurrences yet to be? If the latter, that would explain why
archiving hasn't moved it. A recurring item is a single item and all the
entries it generates in the calendar are not separate items. They're
calculated from the original item and are not entered separately.
