## Specifying Explicit Dates for a Task

A task can run on specific dates rather than follow a recurring schedule, and you can add specific dates to a recurring schedule. You can schedule dates in any month of any year up to and including December 31, 2037. Scheduled tasks run during the time window specified for the task.

To schedule specific dates:

1. Open the Scheduling Service dialog box.
2. From the schedule options list in the left pane, select the Specific Dates option.

> The Specific Dates pane is displayed.

> This pane contains a calendar used to select dates.

1. If applicable, change the calendar month or year in which you want the task to run. See Navigating the Specific Dates Calendar for details.
2. Select the dates you want and then select <<. For help selecting dates, see Selecting Specific Dates in the Calendar.

> The dates are listed in the Include listbox.

1. If you make a mistake, you can remove a date from the Include listbox. Select the date and then select Delete.
2. When finished, select OK.

> The Scheduling Service dialog box accepts your changes and closes.
