Searched around, played with Outlook (2003 - XP) and the only way to schedule
a two yearly event seems to be by putting 730 in the daily / every box.

I've a few domain names - dot com recur yearly (easy) but the dot co dot uk
are biannual. The daily option is not ideal as far as display is concerned.

Do any of you fine prople know of another solution please?

Cheers,
 
Of course this method falls over after 29th Feb 2008, so any suggestions
would really be welcome......
 
Set the recurrence to yearly, set the date to the date of the original
event. You will need to reset it for leap years of course, but that is the
nature of the beast.

Thanks for that Milly, but I'm either missing something obvious or the coffee
hasn't taken effect yet. Yearly events are easily scheduled.

I need to add those that occur every two years.
Say it's 1st March 2006 / 1st March 2008 etc... This year is OK but using
730 days means 2008 then occurs on 29th Feb. 24 months or 104 weeks won't fit
of course.

Following your suggestion gets me an unwanted event in 2007 and changing the
start date loses the event in 2006.

A useful feature for the calander system would be a "custom" recurrence
timer if you have any input into Microsoft.

Cheers,
Diggs
