Though you can't yet do this with org-mode timestamps, you can use a diary sexp.

If you want a repeat entry with an end date, you will need to resort to diary expressions (see diary sexps in section 8.1 of the manual). Thank you for your most helpful answer. I have now been able to insert a relevant entry that repeats every week. I have not been able to find a way to insert an end-date, though. Can you point me to the relevant section of the emacs-manual? In info: Org Mode - Dates and Times - Timestamps third entry on that page mentions that you can use Emacs calendar/diary sexp diary entries so you can then go to the appropriate section in the Emacs info manual: Emacs - Calendar/Diary - Advanced Calendar/Diary usage - Sexp Diary Entries HTH, eric -- Eric S Fraga GnuPG: 8F5C 279D 3907 E14A 5C29 570D C891 93D8 FFFC F67D ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] timestamp with repeater interval
I have a strange problem with timestamps with repeater intervals and think I am doing something wrong. I had assumed that entering in a new TODO item a timestamp like oct 19 10:00 +14w pressing C-c . would show the entry in the next 15 weeks including the day of tomorrow. In reality, the item shows up *only* tomorrow, but not in the next 14 weeks. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Repeating tasks have a time to happen next (I usually use scheduled time for tasks, and active timestamps for appointments, but I am not sure that matters). When you mark the task done, a repeating task will automatically jump back to TODO with the repeated date. pgpKdaFyOjBJf.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
