Default How to sidestep "The contents of this appointment have been updated... " issue

"Jim5941" wrote in message

Is there a way to do this in Outlook 2007 i.e. to create a meeting
every tuesday from 1/1/2010 to 12/30/2010 - 52 individual events at
one time? (Instead of creating a meeting "every Tuesday until
12/30/2010" )

I know I could create it in Excel and import it, but ... was wondering
if there was an easier way...


I'd create a second calendar file and create the recurring meeting there as
normal. I'd then export that calendar. When exporting an open-ended event,
Outlook will ask you for the time range to be covered by the export (since
exporting an open-ended event would create an infinitely sized output file
otherwise). Specify your one year date range. Now inport this file to your
main calendar. It will be your 52 individual event. You can then delete the
extra calendar you created.
