Recurring Appointments

[wfse]

In GW 8, when an recurring posted appt is opened and a change made, not prompted for This Instance or All Instances as was done in 6.5

Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?

I saw this and reported it to Novell early after GW8 was released. I believe they logged a defect but don't know if they ever fixed it. Technically, what you are trying to do DOES work, just not the way you are doing it. Novell changed the behavior/dialogs and it is very confusing. I can't recall specifically how to make it ask you that question though, I'll look around..

Thanks, Marvin. I installed GW8SP2.

I'd be interested to know how to make it work since I have at least two offices totally upset about it not working because it causes them more work since they support many staff and use recurring appointments often. I haven't been able to find a solution.

I've submitted this to Novell again with the Beta SP1 (You are actually using HotPatch 2 not SP2) and am anxious to see what they say. Yes it's a pain in the butt.

Just an update, I have confirmed with Novell that the bug exists and it is in fact a bug (vs. working as designed).. They have assigned a defect number in their tracking system. Since they are getting ready to release SP1, I doubt the fix will make it into the release but maybe a hotpatch shortly after.
