hi amro to a degree however it is not a meeting it is an event otherwise known as a memo so if i can be told how to do this with memo's that would solve my query thank you Yvonne ----- Original Message ----- From: Amro Bilal To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 2:49 PM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: notes Yes Yvonne. Say you want to have a calendar entry that says (income support) next Monday and to be repeated every fortnight thereafter. You do thus: -open calendar -go to the date when you want the reminder to start. That would be next Monday January 24 in this example. -bring up the options menu and select new entry>meeting. A new entry dialog will appear. -type subject (that would be income support in this example) then arrow down once. -choose what time of the day your income support meeting is then arrow down four times. -press select and choose from the list how long before your meeting you want the alarm to sound off. If you don't want to set an alarm for your income support meeting ignore this field and leave it set to (off) and arrow down once. -press select and choose from the list how often you want the income support meeting entry to be repeated. In this example you would arrow down three times through the list and select fortnightly. -set any other fields in the new entry dialog if you wish and once finish press key two (done). That's it, your income support calendar entry has been set on Monday and it will be repeated every fortnight. Have I answered your question?

When you are creating a new entry in calendar, one of the fields is entry recurring. In the new entry dialog arrow down few times until Talks say (not repeated). Hit the select button there and set how often you need that reminder to be repeated.
