Outlook 2000 recurring appointments

[dragonflygirl]

I know this is a common issue, so I am hoping that someone has come up with a way to remedy it. When an appointment is set up in Outlook as recurring, then changed to end by a certain date, etc., the only way that it will work is to get rid of any exceptions that have been made on past appointments. I have been on the Microsoft discussion boards and have seen many, many posts on this issue, but no help. Anyone else??
