I have a db where each record is a certain task to be done. Each record includes the date the task should be completed. Some of the tasks are one time only but some are recurring. I have been having to create a new record for every task even the recurring ones, but I have decided to try to automate creation of the recurring tasks.
I'd like to have it so that when I set up a task I can select from a drop down box that this task will not recur or that it will recur every week, month, etc, and (here's the part I can't figure out) then based on the selection it would create a new record of the same task but with the new due date based on which one of the recurrence options was selected.
For example, if the original task was:
Fax weekly expense report
Due 9/26/07
Repeat: weekly
I'd like for it to, on 9/26 or 9/27, automatically create this record
Fax weekly expense report
Due 10/3/07
Repeat: weekly
I don't want the same record to be changed to show the new date; I need to have a record for each task.
Thank you for your help.
