My thoughts exactly - more so, was making sure the WINDOW for both Monthly
and full are SET the same - otherwise I kinda thought this in itself could
cause an issue and start off a schedule I did not want to start :-)
Thank you for your help on this matter

Adding the Monthly schedule to the existing policy containing the Weekly and
Daily schedules will not result in both running at the same time. Frequency
based scheduling does just that, it give priority to the schedule that runs
on the _least_ frequent schedule. So, if there is a conflict between the
Monthly and the Weekly, the Monthly will win. Having them in separate
policies _guarantees_ they will _always_ try to run at the same time.
Having them in the _same_ policy is specifically intended to manage it for
you so they don't. Of course, you will need to play with it to make sure it
does what you think it's supposed to do
:-)
