Reminders

I've investigated this a bit more in other forums, and it appears that
Outlook is actually incapable of handling this simple reminder. If
this is true, it's just astounding. I'll have to scrap Outlook and go
elsewhere...
I'll have to try Brian's suggestion again, but it really amounts to a
workaround for a simple operation that any PIM should be able to
perform without the user having to jump thru hoops...

I think maybe my last post was too complicated. Using Outlook 2007, I
want to set up a task with a reminder that pops up every day at 1100.
How do I accomplish this?
Create a new task. Set its start date to be tomorrow at 11:00 and its end
date at, say, 11:30. Make the recurrence every day or every week day.
Enable the reminder. Save and close. When the reminder pops up, mark the
task completed. The next day's task will be generated.
Thanks Brian. Couple questions about this:
The task dialog does not allow for times, only dates.
The reminder dialog does not have an option to mark the task
completed, only to dismiss it or snooze. Does this mean I'd have to go
back to the original task each time and mark it completed?
