Yeah, it doesn't seem to make much sense in this case, because the model assumes that you don't create exceptions at the time you create the appointment. Exceptions are the changes you make *after* the appointment is initially created. You're basically telling Evolution "I want this to happen four times. No, wait, cancel the middle two." (Maybe "cancellation" would be a better word to use here than "exception".) In real life, you would never say "we will meet for the next four Wednesdays that are not 3/17 or 3/24". You would either say "we will meet on 3/10, 3/31, 4/7 and 4/14" or "we will meet every Wednesday from 3/10 to 4/14, except 3/17 and 3/24". Evolution doesn't let you say it the first way (though it could, using iCalendar RDATEs instead of RRULEs), but it does allow the second form. -- Dan _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
