asked on

Is Outlook meeting occurrence change still part of a recurring series?

Hi.  User has a recurring monthly meeting set up with an end date of Jan 2013 sometime...
User decides to change the meeting time or date of a single occurrence in November 2012.  If they later update the original series, is this changed occurrence still updateed as part of that original series or is a changed occurrence seen as a separate entity now?    

If separate, does the same apply if dates/times were not changed but maybe an attendee was added or removed for that occurence only?

thanks

If you update the single occurance the changes to time and Attendess only apply to that occurance.

If you open the series then modify the occurance time and members
All Pervioulsy accepted occurances will be canceled and recreated

So if you asking if it will overwrite it
The answer is yes

If you want to seperate it out
Create a Seperate single instance of a meeting for that particular date

Hi.  I'm confused by this line:

  "If you open the series then modify the occurance time and members
   All Previoulsy accepted occurances will be canceled and recreated
"

Do you mean if I've changed a single occurrence and then go back and change the entire series, the single occurrence will be overwritten with whatever change I've made to the entire series?

So the occurrence is always part of the original series, no matter what changes you might make to that single occurrence, unless you physically remove it from the series and create it as it's own event...?
