Outlook 2003

I click on New Appointment - the untitled appointment opens. Then I click on
any of the drop downs to change the date or time and from any of those I
can't change the day or time. When I move the mouse off of the current day
or time in an attempt to pick a future day or time the drop down closes. The
only way I can change the day or time is to type the change directly in the
box. Any ideas? I've reloaded Outlook and this problem still exist.

Don't know if it's the same related thing or not but I can't delete a
recurring appointment. I click on one of the instances and I don't get a
dialog asking 'delete this appointment or delete the series'. Thank you,
Rebecca

Sounds like you have the X-Mouse feature enabled in Windows. Do you have
TweakUI installed?

Yes I do. I've just unchecked it and that seems to solve the problem.
Thanks!

Any thoughts regarding the second part of my problem?

You're welcome.

If you open what you believe to be an instance of a recurring appointment
and then view the recurrence, do you actually see something there? Perhaps
better, display your calendar in a table view like "By Category" and see if
you see only one entry for the event or if you see more than one entry. If
you see multiple entries, then the event isn't actually recurring. It's a
series of one-time events. Recurring events are actually single entries in
the calendar.

Brian,
Once again, thanks. It's amazing how many subtle things are buried in the
background waiting to trip you up.

What did you find out?

That I had multiple entries for the event concerned. I had some recurring
events, so somewhere along the line I did something right but the few
obsolete items that kept popping up got done as a series of one time events.
Thank,
R.

Thanks for the follow-up.
