SUMMARY
This article describes how you can change the default setting for the number of appointment recurrences.



MORE INFORMATION
When you create a new calendar appointment and click the Recurrence button, the "Range of recurrence" defaults to "No end date." You can change the default to a number of days after which the default recurrence will end. When the user opens the recurrence dialog box, the end date will be the current date plus the number of days set.

Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
