recurring appointments

[Chris]

I'm using Outlook 2007 at home for personal use and at work connected through
an Exchange server using a Samsung ACE smartphone in between. When I create
recurring appointments, the "Skip Occurance" button is occasionally grayed
out. I can't see a pattern and I'm not sure why this is happening. Any
thoughts?

Does it say "Skip Occurrence" or "Remove Recurrence" ? Can you delete the
occurrence with the keyboard or right-click?

The "Skip Occurance" button is what's grayed out. I can delete the task, but
that would get rid of it permanently, not just for that specific instance.
For example, "Workout A" is a recurring task on every Monday. If I skip the
workout, I don't want a task in my list for the remainder of the week, but I
still want a new instance of that task on the following Monday. Does that
make sense?

So is it an appointment or a task?
