Appointment Symbol

[Dukey]

When I make an entry on my calendar, and save it..and then I try to make a
change, I sometime get a small symbol in the bottom right hand corner. When
I get this symbol, it will not let me make any changes. What is this symbol?
Why is it there? How do I get rid of it?

What does this "small symbol" look like? It appears at the bottom right of
what window? What version of Outlook?

 

[Dukey]

Outlook 2007. The symbol is two curved arrows with a line drawn through it.
It is at the bottom of my appointment screen.

Sorry, but what's an "appointment screen"? If you're referring to a
particular window in Outlook, what's the window's title and what vew are you
using? Normally, in a calendar, an icon showing two curved arrows pointing
in opposite directions indicate a recurrence, but it may have something to
do with synchronizing instead. You're not precise enough in your
description for me to tell.

Is it one of the icons on this page? maybe the exception to a recurrence
icon?

Open Outlook. On the left side of the screen you will see these icons:
Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks. Click on Calendar. Then double on any
time slot and you can enter a appointment, note, or anything you want to in
the slots. Is this not the appointment screen? If you do not see or have
it, is there anyway I can send you a picture of the attachment of the screen?

I suspect that it's an indication that you've opened an exception to a
recurring appointment. You can upload a screen shot to any of the many free
image-hosting web sites and then post a URL to your upload.
