WS:Repeat Appointment - Problem

[AH34]

WS:Repeat Appointment has been frequently recommended as a solution to the
deficiency in Outlook when you want to set up appointments with irregular
recurrences. However, there appears to be a significant fault in WS:RA II.

In my testing, WS:RA II is fine for setting up irregularly recurring
meetings in your own calendar but when you try to use it to send a meeting
request to others (which it claims to be able to do) all seems to go
pear-shaped.

Only the request for the first meeting is sent correctly; the requests for
subsequent meetings in the series never get sent to the requestee. Instead,
WS:RA II appears to post these requests all to the requestor's calendar as
meetings all with the same date/time as the first in the series and nothing
gets sent to the person you want to receive the meeting request. Very strange!

Anyone else experienced this problem or know of a solution?

Thanks, AH

Were I you I'd be writing to the vendors of WS RA II instead of posting in a
group dedicated to Outlook.

So I have but without response...yet. Given that this product is frequently
being suggested as a means to overcome a glaring inadequacy in Outlook, I
think it is reasonable to alert people to the fact that it is not necessarily
the solution they might expect and to canvas whether or not they have
experienced similar difficulties.
