Note: I performed this on May 30
A headache...
Reading The Beauty of the Recurring Task, I am trying to give this a go on my own. Here is the problem:
I am supposed to be able to do this:
Alright, so I begin by making a task... Today is the 30th, I make it due on the first of this month (So a few weeks ago). Dialog box looks like this:
![]()
I set the recurrence dialog so it looks like this:
![]()
Meaning that the day I check it off, a new task should spawn 30 days after the day I check it off
Hit save, this dialog pops up. We are back to the main entourage window now... It looks like this:
So when I tick the box today (the 30th) a new task should spawn 30 days from today. Rather, a new task spawns 30 days from when the initial due date was (not good)
Tick the box, it now looks like this:
Meaning it spawned a new task due 30 days after May 1st! It should be due 30 days from today, not the initial due date!
How can I fix this?
Please help,

In addition to the common Every Monday and Every Other Month items, Entourage lets you set a manual interval for repetition thats based on the last time the task was completed.
