How would I change the date of a reoccuring entry without changing the past
occurances?
Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook) - 10 Jul 2007 00:58 GMT
You just go to it, open it (this occurence, not the series) and change it.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Unfortunately when I tried your solution it did exactly what I didn't want it
to do. It wipped out all of the past entries so the history is gone. Thanks
for trying though.

It's possible you selected the series instead of the occurrance.  It's fully
possible to change the times of one recurrance.  I do it several times per
month.  Changing the series, however, will do exactly what you describe:
regenerate the entire series so that past entries are also changed.  A
recurring event is only a single entry in the calendar from which Outlook
calculates the individual dates on the fly and anything that modifies the
entire series will cause Outlook to recalculate.

I made a point of ensuring that it followed the suggested solution implicitly
knowing that there is no undo function. If I had selected the series as
suggested I don't believe that I would have lost all of the past entries. At
this stage of the game it is now irrelevent as the old records are gone. I'd
like to thank you and Judy for your help though.
