That's really the fix you need. Have the Access DB use a Boolean reminder
field (plus the needed date fields for when the reminder should fire).

We just changed our procedure recently which had us taking the Access
database, importing it to Excel, running a script, and then importing to
Outlook. Now we import directly from Access to Outlook. Seems like that
answer is a step in the direction we are trying to get away from. I would
rather beg the Access database owner for approval to add a Reminder on/off
column to the Access tables than have to add two additional steps to our
procedure.

Thanks for the response at any rate.
