Is there a simple way for me to schedule my appointments in a bi-weekly
pattern? I've seen daily, weekly and monthly...but nothing that will allow
for a bi-weekly pattern.

Can anyone help? Please?

Schedule a weekly meeting to occur every 2 weeks.

Hi again,
I understand that the option for every two weeks is available but I was
hoping for it to not be specific to the day - more to the date itself. Does
this make sense?

I'm looking to track bill payment dates that have a recurrence pattern of
bi-weekly.

Thanks!

how can they be biweekly if they are date specific? you could make two -
monthly on the 1st and monthly on the 15th.

Make two monthly appointments: one for, say, the 15th and one for, say, the
30th, or whatever dates you had in mind. However, tying an appointment to
dates is not "biweekly". "Biweekly" means "every two weeks on the same day
of the week". Since you asked for biweekly, Sue suggested exactly that.
