I have a job that i would like to run on the 5th business day of each month, and if certian criteria is not met, then slide the job to the next day.

Historically, I have been able to start other jobs on day "1", and use jobmodify to add 1 to the current day, allowing the job to schedule itself.

in looking at the job properties list, I see no mechanism for editing the business day using job modify, i can only set the monthly day of the week or the specific day number.

Is there a way to programatically schedule a certian BUSINESS day to run on (1st, 5th, etc)?

Take a look at "Run program on [n] business day of each month" job template from the "Simple Job Schedules" template folder. It may do what you want.
