Default Possible to set up a timer in Outlook?

I would like to have one of Outlook's reminders appear. Then, when I
acknowlege it, I would like Outlook to, in effect, 'count down' until
a certain period of time has elapsed, then pop up another reminder.

In short, rather than a reminder that occurs at a specific time of
day, I'd like a recurring reminder that only appears when a certain
amount of time has elapsed after I manually acknowlege the last
reminder.

Is there an easy way to set up such a thing in Outlook?


Won't the snooze option work for you?


Thanks for the response.

Unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't allow me to set a custom time, just pick
from a drop-down list of common times. I can tell it to remind me again in
8 hours, or in half a day, but not in 10 1/2 hours, for instance.
