8.2.2 Setting a Recurring Appointment
Set this option when the appointment you are creating recurs at regular intervals.
If it is unchecked, the appointment is set to occur once. To set a recurring
appointment, check this box with "Space", then Tab to the resulting combo box
for setting the recurrence pattern. You can select from "Daily", "Weekly",
"Monthly" and "Yearly".
If you select "Daily", Tab to the "Recurring interval of day" edit box. You can type
a number between 1 and 999 to represent the number of days between
recurrences. If you enter 1, the appointment recurs every day, and if you enter 2,
it recurs every other day. Be sure the difference between the start and end date
is shorter than the recurring interval value.
Tab to the "Set recurrence end date" check box. By default, it's unchecked, which
indicates that the appointment recurs indefinitely. If you check this box, an edit
combo box for entering the end date appears in the tab order.
If you set the "Recurrence" to weekly, Tab to the "Recurring interval" edit box, and
type the number of weeks between appointments in numbers from 1 to 999. As
with daily, the appointment duration should be shorter than the recurring interval.
Tab to a list box where you can select the day of the week on which the
appointment recurs. To select or unselect the current item, press "Space". You
can make more than one selection, thus the appointment recurs on more than
one day during the week. If you don't select a day, it is set to the today's week
day.
