If my "NB" below is correct, I think my issue was that Pentecost dates (as defined by "easterdate(today())+49") could never be placed on a calendar because they were always postponed to the next year when today date goes over Easter. Is that right please? NB: trigger dates are reevaluated each day from the calendar period submitted. For example, with "-c2", today date is increased by 1 day at a time during a 2-month period and when trigger date for a REM is equal to the today value, then it's placed on the calendar on the corresponding day. Thanks in advance. l0f4r0 _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] https://dianne.skoll.ca/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans Remind is at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/
