Creating an exception of a recurring appointment via WebDAV   

Hello,


I try to create an exception of a recurring appointment using WebDAV.

I can create recurring Appointments, but when I try to create an
exception the recurring appointment is displayed as a non recurring
appointment in Outlook 2003.

Everything is fine with recurring appointments created by Outlook. All
exceptions are displayed correctly, but if i want create an exception
of the recurring appointment by my code the first instance of the
appointment is only displayed as a non recurring appointment. Other
instances are missing...

Please help.

Thank you.

After querry expanding the recurring appointment is displayed correctly
in Outlook until i want to create the first exception of the
appointment.
