Hi William,

I'm experiencing exactly the same thing as you with the calendar.  It's so 
frustrating.  And, when I finally get the recurring appointment set up the way 
I want, and click the "Done" button, the appointments aren't showing up.  It's 
as if I hadn't created any appointments.  Previous versions of OS X worked much 
better with VO in the calendar.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Russell
