Hi all,

If I create an appointment in outlook with a recurrence pattern by automation,
will the outlook app create all the recurring subtasks in outlook ? If yes,
if the recurring task is recurring forever, then how can outlook create
infinite tasks inside it ?
If no, then how can user edit just one of the recurring subtask in the
calendar ?

Thanks

Recurring tasks or calendar items? Your description is no precise enough to
know what you mean.

Recurring tasks have one new instance, the next recurring task is created
when the preceding one is marked complete.

Recurring appointment items exist only as one master appointment plus an
Exceptions collection consisting of any deleted instances or instances that
have been changed. If MAPIFolder.Items.IncludeRecurrences is set to True
then all recurrences are included in the Items collection of that folder. If
no end is specified you end up getting the maximum value a Long can hold as
the number of recurrences in the folder. If IncludeRecurrences = False you
get only the master appointment.
