Creating A Custom Occurance for Tasks

[MelaniePPC]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: pop I'm trying to create a task and have it occur every other week (which is easily done in the calendar). However, when I go to the "Occurs" drop down that is not an option so I choose "Custom". Once I do this my entire Entourage freezes and I can't do anything within Entourage. My Force Quit doesn't show Entourage as "Not Responding" but the Entourage toolbars grey out and I can't do anything in which case I have to Force Quite Entourage. Does anyone know why this happens and what I need to do to create a custom occurrence?

I'm trying to create a task and have it occur every other week (which
is easily done in the calendar). However, when I go to the "Occurs"
drop down that is not an option so I choose "Custom". Once I do this
my entire Entourage freezes and I can't do anything within Entourage.
My Force Quit doesn't show Entourage as "Not Responding" but the
Entourage toolbars grey out and I can't do anything in which case I
have to Force Quite Entourage. Does anyone know why this happens and
what I need to do to create a custom occurrence?

This is potentially database corruption.

Quit Entourage and then launch it with the Option key held down to open
the Database Utility.

Verify your Database. Let it repair if prompted.

Hope this helps!
