That is too bad - especially if its a feature that gets lots of requests.

I can't imagine that the UI for this would be too difficult, although i 
know its easy for me to say this. A drop down list with 1-5, and a set 
of check-boxes for monday - sunday.

"repeats every [x] [m - s]", would give you the ability to specify many 
common repeats - 3rd monday, 1st sunday, etc... And you've already 
mentioned that the software itself supports them, so there isn't a lot 
of extra under-the-hood enabling to get done (again, said from an 
outside perspective).

Anyway, you are correct that the current method is untenable. While i 
know you have lots of other interface fixes, updates and additions, i'd 
push for this one getting more attention, again, especially if there has 
been many requests for its inclusion. Its just one more reason to not 
stick with the product if it can't do what some people think of as basic 
event scheduling. Small things like this drive some people (me! ;) crazy.

Thanks for the quick reply!
