confusing appointment scheduling
Hi, Roselle. I see your posts on the list, but hadn't seen any posts
addressing this one. I tried it, but ended up with appointments on the
last Thurday of the month, whether it was the fourth or fifth. I might
not have been on the fifth Thursday of a month when I originally scheduled
it though; can't remember.

Umm, Peggy, not sure if you're simply not receiving my posts or you don't
read them because this isn't the first time I've noticed that, but I
answered this already in a recent post. Pressing l at the week of
recurrence prompt is DIFFERENT from setting it to the fourth week. This
option is included to address the issue of having five Thursdays (or
whatever day of the week) for a given month. So if you type L, this will
schedule the appointment to recur on the fifth Thursday, which is
appropriately the LAST week. If you typed 4, then that will be for the
fourth Thursday.
If the month has four Thursdays, typing 4 or l will give the same
result. If the month has five Thursdays, typing L will be for the fifth,
not the fourth Thursday. I can assure you that this works CORRECTLY
because I've done this so many times, and if you're still not satisfied
with that assurance, then let me tell you that I've tried this again (for
the month of April 2004 which has five Thursdays) before typing this post.
HTH and I hope you are reading my messages,
Roselle
