## Scheduling a Task for Certain Days of the Week or Weeks of the Month

You can schedule a task to run on certain days each week, certain weeks each month, or certain days on particular weeks of the month. For example, you might want a task to run on the first and third Thursday of every month. In another example, you could schedule a task to run the last week of every month. Finally, you could schedule a task that includes both of the previous examples.

To schedule week days for a task:

1. Open the Scheduling Service dialog box.

2. From the schedule options list in the left pane, select the Week Days of the Month option.

The Week Days of the Month pane is displayed.

This pane contains a weekday matrix. A check mark entered for a day indicates that the task is scheduled to run on that day of its respective week. All days are selected by default.

Note The weekday matrix is not a calendar. It is simply a matrix used to select days and weeks in a month.

3. You can modify the matrix by doing either of the following:

- "Selecting Days in the Week Days of the Month Matrix" on page 20--Use this option if you want the task to run only on a few days each month. You may need to deselect all days first and then select the days you want.
- "Deselecting Days from the Week Days of the Month Matrix" on page 22--Use this option if you want the task to run on every day with the exception of a few particular days.

4. When you have finished setting up a schedule, select OK.

The Scheduling Service dialog box accepts the changes you made and closes.
