Works: Recurring Appointments No Longer Series After Importing (193770)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Works 4.5a
This article was previously published under Q193770

SYMPTOMS

If you import a recurring appointment into your Works Calendar, the recurring appointment is no longer a linked series of events.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because Works Calendar imports recurring appointments as a series of individual appointments.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, use either of the following methods.

Using Series of Individual Appointments

Leave the appointments as individual entries. To change all of the recurring appointments, modify each individual appointment in the series.

Creating Recurring Appointments in Works Calendar

Delete the individual appointments, and then create a new recurring appointment in Works Calendar. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. In Month view, delete all of the individual entries for the imported recurring appointment except the first one.

    To delete an appointment, click the appointment, and then click Delete Appointment on the Edit menu. If you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
  2. In Day view, double-click the appointment you did not delete in step 1.
  3. Under When, click to select the Make This Appointment Repeat check box, and then click Recurrence.
  4. Select the Recurrence Options you want, and then click OK.
  5. Click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Works version 4.5a for Windows.
