Is there any way to be able to access future reminders for the same day or
outstanding that will come due for seven days?
 
From where do you want to access them? The obvious way is to open the item
and edit the reminder.

Thank you for your reply. However, my question relates to the situartion that
once the reminder has opened and you have reset the time frame to be reminded
to take an action at a later date, closed the reminder and then remembered
that you want to add something, how do you then go back and open it to edit
it or even change when the reminder should advise you of further action?
 
you search all over the place for it.

Have you considered using Tasks and scheduling work that way rather than
using interruptions (AKA reminders) to manage your work to do in the future?

Thanks Judy... It was more a question of oops... closed it now how do I find
it, or later in the day, how come the reminder didn't pop up. Have a great
day and yes I know that I can search for it.... where was the question...
after looking in contacts, e-mail follow-up, search in Microsoft Outlook,
deleted files, Search-For Follow-up file under my inbox header... I was
unable to find out if I had rescheduled my dentist appointment for the
correct day or time... and when was my dentist appointment???

Sorry I thought you were using reminders on Tasks or emails as you said
"take action" rather than attend a meeting.
