Hi folks,

I'm looking to basically create a set-up in outlook that, once I select the start date, populates my calendar based on the distance from that start date.

To be more concrete, I run programs. And while they differ from client to client, there are certain things that need to be done for all programs. So 60 days prior to the start of a program certain things needs to be done. Same goes for 30 days out, 20 days out, ect. I'm trying to find a way to say "Program X starts on July 1st" and have Outlook assign events to my calendar based on that information.

Any ideas? Am I making sense? All help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Lost
 
Yes, you are making sense - but Outlook doesn't offer a really simple way to do it. You can create an appointment on the date and copy it, then change the date in the copy by typing 60 days before in the date field. Repeat as needed.

If you start on today and need dates going forward, you'd use 60d instead. The calculated dates are always based on the date originally in the date field, so its easy to go forward or backward from a date, but you will need to do it for each appointment in the series - you can't tell outlook to create an appointment on DateA, 30days later, 60days later etc.
