Hi all. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Here's the situation. I am running Windows XP Home
Edition on a 2.8Ghz P4, 1GB RAM. I have MS Office XP
installed which included Outlook 2002. I use Outlook for
daily e-mail and PIM at home.

I recently set up an appointment for some medication I
need to take every morning. The appointment is set at
8:00 every morning, with no time duration, and never ends.

The first morning after I put the appointment in Outlook,
the reminder came up. Any time I close Outlook and
restart it, the reminder also comes up. If I dismiss the
reminder for today, though, and leave Outlook open until
tomorrow morning, the reminder for tomorrow morning will
not come up.

Do I need to set up the appointment differently? I want
the reminder to pop up every morning whether I close
Outlook or not.

Thanks,

Craig
 
Don't dismiss the reminder, open the item and select completed, you will
need Outlook to be open to get any reminders.

Thanks for the help but I think you misunderstood me. I did try your
suggestion but I can't mark an appointment "complete". I think you're
referring to a task.

I set this up as an appointment specifically so I could dismiss it each
morning and expect it to remind me the next day and that doesn't seem to
be working.

If I'm incorrect, and there is a place to mark an appointment "complete",
please let me know where it is. I can't find it.

Yes sorry I did get this mixed up, what I should have said was the way you
are doing this then you don't need a recurring appointment (unless you want
to keep track) all you need to do is snooze the appointment. I wouldn't have
set it up this way, I would have used a recurring Task and then when the
reminder appeared mark the Task as completed and the next day the new Task
for the day will reappear

Thanks again Robert. After I sent the last reply, I thought about your
post and decided to change it to a task, thinking that may work better.

I have it set up to start tomorrow morning, with a reminder at 8:00 AM
that I will mark complete each day. I'll see how that works.

I appreciate your time.
