How not to loose notes in a recurring meeting notice

[MIchael Halliday]

OK, I maybe should not have done this, but I ahave entered notes on my
calendar entry for a recurring meeting that someone else scheduled. I
have different notes on diffeent occurrances, and now we will be
discontinuing those meetings. I fear, that if we cancel the series, I
will loose all those past notes. What I would really like to do is
save all past instances of that recurring event, but cancel all future
ones...thoughts? Is there a way to break a recurring event into a
series fo individual ones?

can I deal withthis better if I was the meeting organizer? I guess
then i could just change the recurrance to end today.

Nope if I as the meeting organizer change the recurrance options, all
past entries are re-wiped clean of notes (i just tested). Odd
behavior.

There was some warning about "Exceptions being lost", but not knowing
what "Exceptions" are, i tried it anyway. Good thing this was "only
a test....had it been an actaul emergency ....."

OK, So I should do a little research before I ask. This seems to be an
OLD and well known issue,l that apparently has not been resolved...
Or has it? Any strategies for getting around this rather significant
limitation?

OK , I apologize for this ongoing conversation with myslef, but given
the number of similar questions that went unanswered, perhaps my
rambling will help.

it seems i can do one thing, I can go an delete individually each
future occurrance. If I only set up the recurrance for one month at a
time, then I guess the amount that Might need to delete would be
limited.Then if I need to schedule a new , replacement on a different
schedule going forward I can do that.



This is a brute force method, but it might serve.
