I was hoping this would be addressed in 4.1b but looks like I'll have to wait until the next release. If a recurring event is checked off on the day that it occurs everything works fine (sort of – I'd rather that I were able to do a shift-click on the next occurance and come back to this one like was possible in the previous version). However, if I try to check off a recurring event the day after it has occured, the effect is to check off all future occurances of that event. Checking off a recurring event after, in advance of, or on the day of the event should all have the same effect – to check only that event. Thanks, Ken

Ken, Recurring events were designed this way so you can edit a time, alarm, etc. for a future event and change the whole string, instead of having to change each one at a time. If you want to make a change only to one event that doesn't occur today, go to Edit/Recurring/Unlink to unlink it from the recurring sequence. Sincerely, Martine Carlson Okna Technical Support

->> Recurring events were designed this way so you can edit a time, alarm, etc.<<- Martine, Still that doesn't make sense for past events and not day-of-occurance events. Why would I want to change future events by changing a past event? In any case, you should make a special case for "checking off the event" which is something I clearly DON'T want to do for all future events. It would be too much of a hassle to Edit/Recurring/Unlink just to check off an event. Remember that this problem is only for PAST events! Ken Ken

Ken, There was something in the programming logic that required changing past events as well as the future. Sincerely, Martine Carlson Okna Technical Support

->> There was something in the programming logic<<- Martine, Please put it on the wish list for the next release to correct this logic problem! Thanks, Ken

Ken, We'll make sure that development is aware of the problem. Dean Ookna Tech
