Hmm...this seems to have occurred often enuf to be in a FAQ. Anyhow, to delete a repeating item you have to go to the first place or date you made the todo (or meeting). This is where the actual entry is stored and you have to delete this item. If this doesn't work on your Newt, make a copy of the beginning of the Todo text, then do a find on this item. There should be an entry in 1901. Deleting this entry cures the problem. Cheers, Eugene Tan
