Hello Klaus, what is wrong with a and d? Why not allowing the user to record e.g. the very first "Tagesschau" of every month by setting it to "1" Not that I really need this but someone will need it for sure e.g. due to the fact that the (virtual) series "Words of the month" is always sent on the first day of the month. The problem was that if the user wanted to specifiy a specific date like 2005-03-13 he had to go a strange way and specify it like "every 13th day of the month (implicitly: until I delete this timer )". You gave the user the possibility to specify exactly what he wanted in this case. This is good. But on the other side you should not remove the possibility to specify "every 13th day of the month" if this is what the user wants. Bernd
