Unable to delete duplicate copies of recurring event

C

Cagey

I have changed from using Lotus Organizer to Microsoft
Outlook and had a problem when I imported one date from
my palm. One of the dates was in Organizer from 1899 - a
birthdate of a grandparent. But when this date was
brought into Outlook I now have 22 copies of the
recurring event on that date. I discovered that there is
a problem importing events >100 years (Knowledge base
article 290038). The problem is I cannot figure out how
to delete these events. I have tried to delete them
several ways and nothing seems to work. Has anyone else
go any suggestions about how to get rid of these events?

Try using the <shift> + <delete> key to delete them.

That didn't work - I still have 22 copies of the event on
that date. The s/w asks if I want to delete just this
occurence or the series and no matter which one I pick
the events don't go away.

Try using the ADVANCED FIND and pull up the events.
Then use the <Shift> + <Delete> key in the ADVANCED
FIND window to delete the events.
