How do I set a recurrence and not include weekends?

Guest

I have a recurring task that takes place every third work day. When I set up
the recurrence in Outlook, it includes the weekend. I have set my work week
from Monday to Friday, but this does not fix the problem.

Example: Week 1 - Monday and Thursday, Week 2 - Tuesday and Friday, Week 3
- Wednesday only, Week 4 - Monday and Thursday.

Currently, I have been setting the recurrence on a weekly basis, is there a
way around this?

Check the "workday" option.
