Thank you for the posts, I almost threw my Dell Laptop out the window.

I am not sure if this is a setting or just an error in Outlook. I have
Outlook 2003 Professional with Business Contact Manager. The problem I have
is when I go into an appointment that I have already made or when I dismiss
the alert that pops up for that event the appointment automatically makes it
an recurring appointment when I don't even go into the recurrence area. Has
anyone else had this problem? I've re-installed Outlook twice, I've restored
my computer to its original state twice and it still happens. HELP PLEASE!!
