Now this is dumb.
Buy a Dell Computer, have Outlook installed (in my case 2003) and when you edit an appointment (i.e. second time, not creation of the appointment), the appointment becomes a recurring appointment and can't be converted back to a non-recurring appointment.
LAME LAME LAME.
Well guess what, if this is happening to you, you probably own a Dell. And in your Add/Remove Programs group, they have put a moronic application (what it is actually meant to do, I have no idea), called "Outlookaddinsetup". If you uninstall it, the problem is gone. You'll of course need to fix the appointments that were now recurring but at least new one's won't have this idiotism.
It took some time to find this solution in Google Groups so I thought I'd post it in my blog in the hopes that others will find it faster in the future.
