Skipping weekends in recurring appointments

I am trying to set up a recurring appointment that skips every 6th day.
However, I also want Outlook to skip the weekend in the 6 day count. Is
Outlook able to do this?

I think if you create five recurring appointments (one for each weekday,
starting 8 days after each other) that recur every 5 weeks you get the
desired effect

Thank you, much easier than trying to enter one at a time. Hopefully
Microsoft will consider a few more options in the recurrances. I am at an
elementary school and we use a 6 day schedule. There are many schools that
use Outlook and could use this type of scheduling.

Have a great day!

I too would like to see more choices on the recurrence. I work for a CPA and
one of the recurrences is a quarterly tax payment. However, those payments
are not due on regular intervals. The first one is due April 15th, then we
go 2 months to June 15th, then 3 months to Sept 15th, then 3 months to Dec
15th and 4 months back to April 15th.

I would like to see separate checkboxes for Saturday and Sunday. And then
some options for exceptions to the general rule.

Calendar Creator would start with regular intervals and then on a mini
calendar in the setup of the event or appointment you could click and unclick
the days that were exceptions.
