one of “Daily”, “Weekly”, “Monthly” and “Yearly.” We will discuss these
options in more detail in the next section.
7.4.9.1 Daily
If you select “Daily,” and press “tab,” the focus will move to “Recurring
interval of day” edit box. Here, you can enter the number of days after
which the appointment recurs. You can type a number between 1 and
999. If you enter 1, the appointment recurs every day, and if you enter 2,
it recurs every other day. One thing you have to be careful when you use
this is that the difference between the starting and end date should be
shorter than the recurring interval value. For example, suppose that the
appointment starts at 09:00, Feb. 1, 2006, and ends at 12:00, Feb. 2,
2006. If you set the recurring interval to 1, you will get an error message
“The appointment duration should be shorter than the recurring interval.”
This is because it is logically impossible that the appointment duration is
27 hours, and the appointment recurs 24 hours. This rule is applied in
the same way when you set weekly, monthly, or yearly recurring
appoints. If you press “tab” after setting the recurring interval, the “Set
recurrence end date” check box appears. By default, it’s unchecked,
which indicates that there is no apparent end date when the recurrence
will stop. If you check this box by pressing “Space,” and press “tab,” the
focus will move to the edit combo box that asks for the end date. Enter
the date when the recurrence will stop. You can directly type the date, or
you can set the date as described in “7.3 Setting date/time”. Once you
set the date, press “tab” to move to the “Confirm” button.
7.4.9.2 Weekly
If you set the “Recurrence” to “weekly”, press “tab” to move to the
“Recurring interval” edit box. Here you can set after how many weeks
the appointment will recur. You can type a number between 1 and 999. If
you set it to 1, the appointment will recur every week, and if you set it to
2, it will recur every other week. The restriction on the recurring interval
as in “Daily” is applied to “Weekly.” If the recurring interval is one week,
the appointment duration should be shorter than one week. Otherwise,
