Outlook 2007 quirk?

[Kath]

It seems like everytime I edit an appointment & save, outlook turns it into a
recurring event - no matter what I do to try & delete the recurrence, it just
keeps coming back so I end up deleting the entry & starting over. Needless to
say this is getting very old & frustrating - is this happening to anyone
else??.

Recurring Calendar event - Graeme

I think I have found the solution to the problem (it works on my machine). I
found, on one of the Dell forums, a posting about performance problems with
Outlook after importing Contact, Task and Calendar (with recurring
appointments) from another version of Outlook. I had suffered with this
problem and had restored my machine to its original factory state, prior to
noticing the recurrence problem. The poster then said he found a
preinstalled
program called "outlookaddinsetup" which he uninstalled and his problem was
resolved. Well sure enough I had the same program installed and I took a
chance and uninstalled it and the recurrence problem has gone!!! (I have to
say I have no idea what the program is supposed to do though). I would be
interested to know if this fix works for anyone else.

relatively new Vostro - almost 1 year old, BUT have had the motherboard
replaced twice since April and they used the original system disks - would
that have caused this since I am sure it wasn't doing from day one, but then
maybe it has, all I know is that I am about ready to throw it against the
wall if i ever have to modify an event

I do see the outlookaddinsetup installed and will uninstall

I unintstalled & relaunched outlook & modified several events WITHOUT truning
into recurring events. THANK YOU!

so what is p with that software, what would be the rationale behind turing
evertying into a recurrence?

You are most welcome! My understanding is there is some bug in the
"Dell" addin that causes it.

It's a bug in the add-in obviously.
