From: Beasily on 25 May 2010 12:26 We are trying to set up monthly training classes in Outlook Calendar that recur the [#] weekday of each month. Currently the selection # is first, second, third, fourth, last. I need it to go higher. Is there a way to customize the drop down to indicate the correct day number?

There is no way to customize that drop-down and no way to specifiy the fifth recurrence of a particular day. I'm guessing, because I didn't help design Outlook and I've never spoken to anyone who has, but I suspect that's probably because the fifth recurrence of a particular day doesn't always exist, which means the recurrence isn't fixed. Outlook can handle only fixed recurrences that always exist and there is always the first, second, third, fourth, or last of a particular day, with the fourth and last sometimes being the same day. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

So you want something like every 10th work/week day? That's not possible in Outlook but you can do that in Excel and import it.

Hi there! I was having EXACTLY the same issue. Check the link below, they have an add-on called "ws.repeat appointment" that seems to address the issue, but it's not free. I'm trying to convince my IT department to purchase it. Hope this solves our issue.
