AT or ON any date?

For example: this can be done AT / ON any date that you think appropriate

Thanks

Maybe you missed the title of the "thanks" response (I did at first) it was: I am asking if AT or ON is used.

If you are talking about specific dates then the rule is 'at' is used for times and 'on' for days.
So
at 2.30 17th December 2005
on 17th December 2005

Yes, it seems the titles in responses are not published.

The question was if 'AT or ON a specific date' is correct.

Yes, I know AT+time and on+day(year)(month) but I was wondering about that specfic 'ON that date? AT that date? IN that date?)
