Dumb suggestion John
add the appointment to your mobile phone and when you get back to the
office, synchronise it??
I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Thanks Judy:
That would work well, if I had the sort of phone that synchs. However,
after far too many disasters of wiping out my calendar and address book
trying to synch between office, home and phone, I made a policy decision some
years ago that I was out of the Personal Organiser in the Phone game :-)
Maybe I should revisit that decision. :-)
But it's so nice to get a ten-day battery life and be able to work on my
calendar while talking on the phone (because the phone is on my ear, not the
calendar...)
It just seems to me that the inability to add a meeting if you created it is
such an obvious bug they should get it fixed soon. Or someone will find a
work-around :-)
Where are you? I thought you were already on your way north?
Cheers

Hi Brian:
Yes, I was too lazy to add this group to my newsreader for what I thought
was going to be a simple question/answer. The web interface will barely cope
with a single interchange: it's hopeless if you want to continue a discussion
:-)
Cheers
