Hi, I have set up a Public Folder for task items. Only one
department has permission for this folder.

The problem is that reminders cannot be set for tasks in
this folder. Is there a way in which I can enable
reminders to be set for these tasks - 'yes' everyone in
the department, ie those will permission to this public
folder will get these reminder displays.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated :-)

Cheers
Jonathan
 
Reminders will only fire from the default Calendar, Tasks, Contacts
and Inbox folders. For anything else you would need a 3rd party addin
like my Reminder Manager or have to code it yourself. Coding it
requires lots of use of undocumented MAPI properties and a lot of
work. Reminder Manager took me almost 2 years to code since I wanted
it compatible with all versions of Outlook from Outlook 2000 on up.
 
Thanks Ken,

I'll have a chat with the department concerned and if they
still want it then I'll get in touch with you.

I appreciate the effort that you have obviously put into
this program.

Cheers
Jonathan
