I'm trying to schedule events according to certain business days in a month.  
But it only lets you schedule the first 4 weekdays, which is utterly useless
when you need the fifth, sixth, seventh, and up to the 10th or 15th weekdays,
or really business days.  For example, I need a meeting on every seventh
business day of a month, but currently, I can't seem to schedule it.  If this
is possible and I missed it, I'd appreciate some assistance, but I can't seem
to find this anywhere.

For every seventh business day (using a M-F week) create five recurring
appointments each one starting eight days after the last and recurring every
five weeks. That way you get a seven business day spread. Essentially
there's a Monday appointment that recurs in five weeks, a week and a day
later there's a Tuesday appointment that recurs every five weeks and so on.
I think that would fit your recurrence pattern

Thanks, that's a great solution, but that's not what my question was.  I
needed an appointment on the seventh business day, not every seven business
days.

Ooops... must have misconstrued the question while I was working on a few
things in the office...

You're definitely right that there's no easy way to do it. You can schedule
on the first, second, third, fourth & last weekday of the month but nothing
in between.
