How do I skip a single occurrence of a recurring meeting in Outlook XP(2002)?
Outlook help answers this question for recurring tasks, but not recurring
meetings in the calendar.

What do you mean by "skip"? If it's a meeting, just don't go. If you mean
take it off of the calendar, just select the recurrence in a Day/Week/Month
view and press Delete, answering "This occurrence" when asked if you want to
delete the entire series or only the single recurrence.

I am looking to remove the meeting in the calendar. I thought there may have
been an exception that I could setup when defining the meeting as recurring,
but deleting using the "delete single occurrence" will suffice.

Thanks

You can't specify exceptions when defining the recurring event.
