A Recurrence Pattern query...

[Andy K]

Can anyone advise me the most efficient way to find all instances of a
recurring Appointment Item over a particular period? Eg I want to find
all instances of Item with EntryID = 123 over period 01/11/2003 to
30/11/2003. It seems I could plug each individual date which occurs
over the period into the GetOccurrence method on the Recurrence Pattern
object - but is there a more efficient way of doing this?

thanks for any advice...

This (pseudocode) might be another approach:

Copy EntryID string to built-in BillingInformation property
Sort on Start
Set IncludeRecurrences to True
Perform a Restrict search on the desired date range [1] and the BillingInformation value
