Recurrence

T

TCW

When I insert recurrance for a meeting which happens every Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, the appointment goes into my
calendar for a while. However now three times a few days later it has
disappeared. Why might this happen and how can I stop it happening?

Again, Google calendar not handheld device - though hoping to before long...

I keep forgetting google syncs too. :) It is the sync process that does it.
(I haven't used google's sync since an early version of the sync tool
cleaned out all the events in outlook. )

Is the appointment deleted or can you see it in a table view of the calendar
(or if you search for it). This will tell us if its deleted or just
corrupted. Offhand, I don't know of a fix for either problem, short of not
using sync - but I would try the following suggestions and see if any work -

Set an end date on the recurrence - no end date seems to be a major problem
when syncing. My recommendation is no more than a yr at a time, with the end
date Dec 31 of the current yr. Make a new one in Dec for next yr.

If you created it in outlook, try making it in the Google calendar.

If all else fails, make Single appointments for a few days (copy and paste
between days - you may need to press ESC after selecting the appointment,
then Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste). If single appointments work, make a
recurring appointment and export to excel then import. This breaks the
recurrences into individual appointments and is faster than copy/paste for
long recurrence periods . (Use a new calendar folder or delete your other
appointments from excel before importing).

Thank you for this. That is really helpful! :)

I had wondered if it was the no end thing which was a problem.

Try it and if it does fix it, be sure to report back so others who find this
