That is the point I was trying to make. I don't know about the 3rd Sunday every four months, but in our case, we actually have events that take place every first Saturday of a month, or every last Tuesday. (As can be seen by the real life example) If you have recurring events that the same people want to or shall attend, you can't have them attend them on different days of the Week every Month. That doesn't really work well with people's schedules. So all I ask for is really that X Day of every month, but as the period is already in there, why not let people have other periods. Of course, it might be more difficult/expensive to allow for events to recur on Easter every year (and I must admit I don't know exactly on what first/last day in what week that is) but Weekdays should come in pretty cheap and very handy for a considerable number of people. (We can't be that weird, having events recur on every first Saturday of a month, are we?) > David: I can certainly support your approach as well (especially since > it appears you've already got it coded.... 8^) ). Thanks ;) And it seems to me (knowing that there must be better algorithms) that this is pretty inexpensive. Even if you're off by a week on one round, the debt doesn't add up but is corrected in each loop. I first thought that this might not scale well with days in the first week of a month, but it actually does, doesn't it?
