    From J Peachey@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 3 21:07:08 2023
    I have just started using the free version (1.58) of the program.

    One thing that I want to do but don't seem able to is set a repeating
    alarm on the 28th of the month every month from now until possibly
    forever.
    You seem to be able to repeat it every x days or on the x weekday of every momth but not a specific day. unless it has changed in later versions.

    Any thoughts or pointers appreciated.

    John

    Click on the Diary tab.

    Click on the next occurrence of 28th to bring up the Set alarm
    dialogue.

    Enter time and message (or set up a Task alarm - see Organizer Help).

    Select 'Repeating alarm'.

    Select 'either every' and set interval to 0:1 yrs:mths.

    Leave 'Repeat until' unselected (forever), or select and enter an end
    date.

    Click on 'OK' and you should now see your alarm message on the 28th
    of every subsequent month, forever or until the end date if you have
    set that.

    Evan.
