    Can I please get help with the following:

    I want to do recurring appointments that saves any changes onto future reminders.
    For example, a reminder with "buy one apple" that recurs every Monday. If you change it to "buy one apple and a banana" then click on 'save and close' it won't change the reminder to include the banana for future reminders. it remains as "buy one apple" because that is the original appointment.

    How can you make it add the banana to all future reminders/appointments?

    Hope that makes sense!

    I don't know what Outlook 2001 is; I know only 2000, XP (2002), 2003, 2007, 2010.

    I have just tested this on Outlook 2003, and when I open any of the recurring appointments, it asks me if I want to open
    • only this occurrence
    • the whole series
    If I open the whole series and update it, the update will be reflected in every occurrence.

    dammit i meant 2007. can't go into heading to edit.

    in 2007, it doesn't ask that. just opens the existing one, not the whole series.

    When you right-click on it, does it give you a choice?

    Unfortunately no options. Looks like there is no way of doing it.
