Using this dialog you may record and keep track of recurring dates such as regularly scheduled appointments, birthdays, holidays, etc. Setting and saving a recurring date is easy.
To set a recurring date:
- Select a date, day of the month, or a particular weekday of any month on the Main Dialog window.
Click on the recurring date button.
This will display the recurring date dialog as shown below.
Select the frequency you would like for the recurring date.
Enter a character to use as a mark on the main window date button and a reminder note for the date.
Select a color to use for the mark. To view other colors, click on the More... button. This will display the standard Windows color selection dialog. Only pure colors are shown (no dithered colors) since text must be a pure color.
Click OK.
If a particular date has more than one "frequency", you may enter any or all for that date. In other words, all 6 frequency settings below could fall on the same day, and all 6 corresponding marks will show on the date button. Each must be set separately, however.
NOTE: If no marks or notes are entered in the edit fields, the recurring date is NOT recorded since there is nothing to record.
Recurring Dates Dialog
The marks and notes can be viewed for a particular date by clicking on each radio button. If any recurring date has been set for that frequency, the marks and notes will appear in their edit fields.
To remove a recurring date:
- Select the desired date button on the main window.
Click on the Recurring... button.
Select the frequency radio button that corresponds to the date and type you want to remove.
Click on the "Remove" button. This will display a warning message. Clicking on OK on this message box will also close the Recurring Dates dialog.
To remove all recurring dates:
- Select any date button on the main window.
- Click on the Recurring… button.
- Click on the Remove All button on the Recurring Dates Dialog.
- If you click on "Yes", all recurring dates will be permanently removed.
