Hello all,

Outlook 2003 pop-ups are great and well made. I really like the way they
appear. I never miss a meeting if i`m working at my workstation when the
meeting reminder appears.

Unfortunately here, for some users, if they they miss the pop-up and if they
don`t go to check their email they miss some meetings.<

Is there a way to add the pop-up in the windows taskbar ? Is there another
way to make these pop-ups be more `present`?

Regards,

Why would this be? The reminder window will display until the person
clickes Dismiss or Snooze.
 
Brian,

If they don`t see the reminder and type in another application then the
reminder can' t be seen.

Perhaps I don't understand what you mean. When a reminder comes due, the
alert will appear on the screen and stay there. When a person returns to
their computer, the reminder will be staring them in the face. Certainly
they can ignore it and open another application, but that's a problem with
their behavior, not with Outlook's functioning.
 
Brian,

You are absolutely right, I agree with you. All we would like to know is, is
it possible to alter Outlooks 2003 behavior so the reminders can be also
seen in Windows task bar ? Something in the line of TweakUI ???

Best regards,
 
Brian,

I forgot to mention that with Outlook 2000 the reminders would be more
resilient and pop-back in the users face. in a way it`s a nice feature that
we lost with the upgrade to Outlook 2003.

I guess I can't help because I can't see a problem. I never fail to notice
my alerts. I've positioned the window in an area of my screen that I never
cover, so I never miss it.

There is a handle for the reminder window on the Taskbar, or at least it's
there for me.
