Deleting Entourage All Day Events - doesn't delete future years

I have the same problem as many people using Entourage where all day events duplicate over and over again as a result of the sync between Ical and Entourage. When I try to delete them, they only delete for the current year and the all day event is still there for the following years. How can I delete them properly so they don't show up in the future

When you delete a recurring event, you get a dialog in Entourage asking
you if it is only the current one, or all related occurrence.

If the event is created in iCal, there is a possibility that it isn't
tagged as a truly recurring event.

A good way to select these events is to put them all in a list.
You could create a custom view for all the events of your calendar, You
can then sort by name, date, category, etc. It makes it a lot easier to
perform these clean-ups,

Hi Corentin

Thanks for your email and advice.

When I delete, I do select "Delete All" occurrences. The events are not created in iCal, only in Entourage.

Are you able to give me a tip on how to put all the events into a list or how do you create a custom view?

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Cheers
Paula
