Re: scheduler algorithm

hmmm, a month period has 4*7 days e.g. then i can schedule on 31.3.07 a month period which will repeat itself on 30.4.07 and again on 30.5.07 even though may has 31 days. i dont see no other logic if you take a week period it same a week has always 7 days. how else would it make sense. the start date += the period fra* ""bruce"" <bedouglas@earthlink.net> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:4a2f01c74715$d0823cf0$0301a8c0@tmesa.com... > hi... > > i'm creating a quick/dirty app for scheduling a function, based on the user > entering a start time/date, as well as a potential periodic timeframe. > > ie: > the user enters- > start time/date: 10:00am 01/10/07 > periodic monthly > > the idea is to be able to have a process start running on the start > time/date, and then to repeat on a monthly basis on the same time/date. i > can easily accomplish this for dates that are '1-28', but i'm looking for > suggestions as to how to handle situations where the number of the start > date, might be greater than the end date of the 'current" month. > > in searching google, i haven't come up with many apps that handle this... > > thoughts/comments/etc... > > thanks. > > -bruce
