Hi

I've got:

myDate = "19.11.2008"
mytime = "18:00"

How can I add these two together and then set the reminder

item.setReminder = ??? 'What's the format here?

Many thanks
 
There is no setReminder method or property.

What language are you using? What type of item do you want the reminder set
on?

How you set a reminder depends on what type of item you are working with.
For example if you have an appointment item that you want to set a reminder
on and you're using VBA code then you'd use code like this:

itm.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 60
itm.ReminderSet = True

You'd have to calculate when the appointment is and use that Long property
to set the time when the reminder fires.

For a mail item you'd use different settings such as this in VBA code:

itm.ReminderTime = Format(myDate & " " & mytime, vbGeneralDate)
itm.ReminderSet = True
