I am using outlook connector to sync my calendar on my pc with the calendar
on msn. I have an ocurrence that occurs every third day that appears on my
personal calendar but not the web calendar. Note: all other items appear
fine. I am a fireman and need to put my shift on every third day into the
calendar. For some reason I get the message, "Outlook Connector does not
Support this recurrence pattern." I noticed in outlook 2003 I can set it up
for every third day, but there is no such option on the web based calendar.

the connector only supports the recurrence pattern the web calendar
supports. You can't create any other patterns because it is not supported by
the web version.

Thanks. I found a work around that worked. I made it recurring every third
week. I had to do this like 21 times to get the shift correct. The only thing
that upsets me is you would have thought microsoft would have took care of
this. After all, google and yahoo calendars have this capability.
