I had another attempt: 1) REM 2 OMIT Sat Sun AFTER --1 MSG fund account %v 2) REM 2 OMIT Sat Sun AFTER SATISFY [TRUE] REM [trigger(trigdate())] +5 --1 MSG fund account %v Example 2) has the desired effect; 1) triggers on Friday 1st May before the long weekend. Why does the --1 in this case not move it by one calendar day? -- Best Regards, Tarlika Elisabeth Schmitz A: Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion Q: Why is top posting bad? _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.whatexit.org/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans
