Recurring Event

All,

I am trying to update Event based on certain conditions. The query result contains individual Events, Events in a Series( for eg: 00U30000003WWEbEAO) and also the Series object(for eg: 00U30000003WWEaEAO) qualified by the same conditions. They are like 2 event objects with different IDs but one is individual event in the series and other is the series object itself..!!!

So when I update them, the entire series gets updated and hence future events get updated too..

My Question is : Via the API is there a way to identify Series Event Object vs Event Object.

thanks,
Chitra
