Thanks again for your speedy response. I have to do a bit of thinking as to why I use the setup I do, I somehow just evolved as "the Right Thing". I'll experiment with archiving the cyclic tasks, sounds like a great idea. I'm not very very new to org-mode, but it has grown on me so much that I try

Hi Tassilo, yes, thanks for the correct analysis. Phillip changed pabbrev.el on my request, to improve package support. Org-mode 5.14 will then work correctly with pabbrev.el. For now, just use this hack in .emacs (remove again after the 5.14 release): ;; Create this obsolete variable, to keep
