Calling all Outlook 2003 bods
Ok, here's the problem: I've been using Outlook 2003 instead of a paper planner for my school lessons, which is all nice and cool given that it allows me ot link to my Excel registers and markbooks and to my Powerpoint or Web resources for teaching. HOWEVER, it still requires me to input my timetable in the form of appointments, and said timetable runs on a fortnightly pattern. All of this can be managed with recurring appointments, all the way up to half term,where it falls apart because I do not seem to be able to get Outlook to do a recurring appointment with a pattern like: "every other week but skip this one from the cou nt". An example to clarify: say that the last week of the half term is a week 1 of the timetable, I need the holiday gap (1 week for half term, 2 weeks for Christmas or Easter) and then the appointments in outlook should restart with a week 2 of the timetable. How do I convince Outlook to manage the exception for me without having to re-enter every single lesson of my timetable at the beginning of each half term?
I had a look on MS knowledge base but I could only find this, this or this, and all of them are rather esoteric for me poor normal person ignorant of VBA or OOP in general.
Any suggestions/help, including patient spoon feeding on how to do it using VBA if that's what it takes, would be MUCH appreciated.
