Issues scheduling the "5th Business Day of the Month"

I am attempting to set jobs to run on different days into a month but only counting business days. In the 'Date Rule Properties" screen, I have selected '5 days after the 1st after the beginning of the month' and selected Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. In April 2015, the first is a Wednesday so the 5th business day is the 7th however, the next start date is always the 6th. From what I can tell, selecting the days on this screen will only tell AdTempus when to start the counter but not which days to count and which to skip. Is there another setting I need to use to set this schedule up or is it not possible in 4.0?

This site makes this sound possible, but I may be selecting the days in the wrong area.Thanks

Here are the settings you need:

  • Days specified using a floating rule
  • 0 days after the 5th occurrence of selected weekdays
  • after the beginning of the month
  • Check Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
  • Check Exclude Holidays if appropriate
