Allow n days before or after appointments that use recurrence

[Guest]

As a Freemason, many of our meetings are scheduled using a recurrence pattern
like "the 1st Monday of each month" or "the 3rd thursday of each month" say.
However, lodges also usually have an executive meeting just usually prior to
a main meeting & these are often scheduiled on the basis of so many days
prior. Say for example that this was 2 days before a third thursday. This may
NOT necessarily be the third tuesday since the 1st of a month is never the
same day of the week, so the formula cannot be used to schedule these types
of appointments.

I suggest two simple improvements :
1. Allow n days before or after appointments that use recurrence.
2. Provide option buttons for all 12 months to allow selection of a monthly
recurrence pattern of my choice.

These two additions would solve every appointment problem I currently have
which must be entered manually but which are actually recurrent appointments.

G'Day Greg,

Unfortunately, Outlook was written to meet the needs of
MANY, not just the needs of Greg Raven.

Yet Outlook CAN meet the needs of Greg Raven.

It is perfectly possible to customise Outlook, so that for
every Appointment (or for an Appointment meeting specific
criteria), there is an option to create a different Appointment
(say from a template) 'n' days prior.

My fee for this work would be $US15,000 - when would
you like the work to commence?
