I want to send email reminders to my cell phone about 30-60 seconds
after they have been displayed if the reminder is still visible (e.g I
don't want to get reminders if I'm sitting at my desk!).

Ideas?

There is a Reminders collection in Outlook 2003 that has ReminderRemove and
ReminderFire events. You can use those to see which reminder has fired and
check on time and if ReminderRemove hasn't fired after a set amount of time
then send your reminder as an SMTP email to your cell phone.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/sendreminder.htm for a code sample
that sends a reminder to email as soon as it fires. That can be used as a
starting point for your code.
 
Thanks - I used that example to built my initial routine. I was
hoping someone had some example code already written to do the wait x
seconds that I could add to this sample to save me time. Anyone out
there?
