I just presented this same question to Microsoft and opened a paid inciden
on it. There is no way within Outlook 2000 to do this
They did give me this workaround, however, the code must be applied to eac
client that wants the reminders to pop active
Also, it does not pop the actual Outlook reminder window to the top, bu
pops another reminder to the top, that when you click OK
your OL reminder becomes active. Here is the workaround
a. Start Outlook
b. Go to Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor
c. Click the (General) drop down list and then choose "Application"
d. Click the drop down list next to "Application", and then choos
"Reminder" from the list
e. Please type in the following code
Private Sub Application_Reminder(ByVal Item As Object
Shell ("net send 127.0.0.1 Reminder"
End Su
f. Set up an appointment with the reminder to test the result
NOTE: "net send" command will send a message to the machine, and pops up t
the top window. We may need to wait for a while before receiving the ne
send command
