I just found this posted in the CF forums at macromedia.com. Is it true? ----------------------- "Interval" refers to the period of time that the scheduler will execute relative to the "startdate" and "starttime" set in the cfschedule tag.
If interval is set to "Monthly" and "startdate" is set to "april 1st" and "enddate" is set to be perpetual then 30 days later the scheduler will execute on april 30th (not May 1st) and 30 days after that (May 29th) and so on. "Monthly" does not take into account the 1st day of each month. ----------------------- If so, I'm obviously going about scheduling something for the first of every month all wrong. I would need to schedule the task to run daily and then have the template check the date to see if it's the first.
