I've been looking at a calendar app on and off for ages and never really
resolved how to handle regular or repetitive events.  (such as every Monday
or every third Saturday or Every fortnight).

Has anyone had to handle this sort of issue?  

I want the app to be able to handle on-off events, but also regular events.


One approach I've thought of is to have the user enter "every Monday" (say)
by clicking on options on the form (to ensure consistent entry) and then
have the processing page enter a series of single events going out the next
year. 

Another approach is to enter the basic information "every Monday" into a
"regular events" table and at the display time have the display processing
page query the one-off events, and also the regular events table then use
query of a query to combine the two lists.

Does anyone else have an opinion here?  Or perhaps another approach?

Does anyone know now other calendar apps like Outlook handle this?
