I would create, for each explicit month you want to run it, a schedule for the job, saying :<br />
* first day of every 12 month<br />
* start date: 1/x/2011<br />
<br />
with x being the month you want the schedule to happen.<br />

Many thanks for the fast response...I am trying to understand,<br />
So I need the schedule to run on day 1 of the following months: <br />
January, April, July and October<br />
<br />
I would create a seperate schedule for each?

perfect! Yes I orig. had it set for 1 schedule running first day every three, but the July one did not fire for some reason, so I was looking for a way to static the schedule for specific months. &nbsp;I will try both and see what happens! &nbsp;Many thanks again for your help..
