Can you lock the past-dated calendar from changes being made to it

Microsoft is aware of the problems but I don’t know if it is changed in the
next version. It will not change in the current versions.

If you have never used another calendar programme apart from Outlook I
guess
this laborious solution seems OK. Compared to the Palm Calendar Outlook is
very basic and frustrating if you have to deal with the realities of
cancelled meetings and wish to keep a meaningful past history of
appointments. Does anyone know how to encourage Microsoft to listen to
requests to improve the functionality?

It should pop up when you make the change.

If you need to end the occurrences, export then import it splits it into
individual items.

I can't find the warning Brian mentions in Outlook 2003.

This thread has been dead for a while but I just got to it. I see
Nikki's point. But what do you do if you set up a recurrence with
"no
end date" in the first place, and then change individual occurrences
within that recurrence? If you ever want that recurrence to stop
recurring in your calendar, you can only do that at the price of
losing any record of these previous exceptions.

This is a correct observance.

That seems almost bug-like, or at least something that should be
documented with a
warning somewhere.

Outlook itself warns you that you will lose exceptions when you make a
change that will regenerate the event item (at least it does for me).
Is
that not good enough?
