## Scheduling a Task for Certain Days of Each Month

Some tasks require a run cycle that is based on the day of the month. For example, you might want to back up certain financial transactions that occur on the first or the 15th day of each month. You can also schedule a task to run on the last day of each month, whether it falls on the 31st, 30th, 29th, or the 28th.

The schedule begins with the current month and runs each month on the days you select during the specified time window.

To select days each month on which a task runs:

1. Open the Scheduling Service dialog box.
2. From the schedule options list in the left pane, select the Days of the Month option.

> The Days of the Month pane is displayed.

1. Select the button that corresponds to the day you want to include in your schedule. The button remains pushed in after it is selected.

> Continue selecting a button for each day you want to schedule. If you make a mistake, select the button again to remove the day from your schedule.

1. To choose all days of the month, select the Set All button. The Clear All button clears all days that have been selected.
2. To schedule your task for the last day of the month regardless of the actual date, select the Last Day checkbox.

Note If you select buttons for the 29th, 30th, or 31st days, the task does not run on those days during months that do not contain the specified number. If you want a task always to run on the last day of each month, select the Last Day checkbox.

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

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