Notes for Recurring Meetings

I'm using OneNote 2007 and Outlook 2003. When select a meeting notice in
Outlook calendar and I click on the "Open or create linked meeting notes"
button, it works as expected unless the meeting is a recurring one.

In that case, it seems to always take me to the notes that I originally
created for the first instance of the meeting. It never creates a new unfiled
note for today's version of the recurring meeting.

Is this the way it's supposed to work? If so, it's not terribly useful.

I can certainly create a new note and paste in the Outlook meeting details,
but that's not quite as clean as clicking the OneNote button from Outlook.

FWIW the preferences in OneNote for Outlook integration don't seem to have
anything that addresses this.

OK, I figured this one out.

If you click on the "Create or open..." button from the main calendar view
in Outlook, OneNote always opens the original set of notes you took for that
recurring meeting.

If you double-click on the meeting in Outlook and open the individual
occurence, Outlook opens a calendar appontment window for that particular
instance of the recurring meeting. If you then click on the "Create or open
in OneNote" button in that window, OneNote creates a new notes page for that
particular instance of the recurring meeting.

A little arcane, but there you go. For what it's worth, I think the proper
behavior should be that right-clicking on the calendar appointment in the
main calendar view gives you the option to create a new note for that
instance of the meeting. Perhaps in Outlook 2007 it already works that way?
