My local government has made big changes to the trash and recycling pickup
dates. I thought I had entered the correct information into my Outlook
Calendar only to learn that my 'weeks' were off.

I was since told that Week One begins on 4 Jan 2010. Are there general
rules of thumb regarding when 'week one' starts in the calerdar year?

Thanks, Dave Horne
 
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date to learn about week
numbering.

In Outlook there are 3 options - on Jan 1, on the first full week and the
first 4 day week. The 4 day selection is probably the most used and true to
iso standards (although choosing other than monday for 1st day of week might
throw it off).

Diane, as always, thanks for the very prompt reply!

After I posted I searched and also stumbled upon the ISO. There are several
ways to label 'week one', but the easiet, I've learned, is this - the first
week of a year is the week that contains the first Thursday of the year.
I'm 59 and I just learned that. Live and learn.

Thanks, DH

Right and the 4 day week rule in outlook should adhere to that rule, while
full week and Jan 1st will work most years.
