Diane, Thanks for your explanation. I guess I definitely still have the
problem. It is definitley a task. I did set it for 11AM and it was reminding
me well before 11. Any other ideas? This has heppened with other tasks but I
cannot discern a pattern.

The only way it could be user error is if you are setting appointments, not
tasks - hence the pattern question.

Tasks are not set for a specific time but the reminder is set for a specific
time - you can't create a task for 11 am but the reminder can be set for 11
am. Appointment reminders are set for a period of time before the
appointment - ie, the appointment is for 11 AM and the reminder is for 1
hour before (at 10 AM).

No, there does not seem to be a pattern. I am intrigued about your comment
"setting the reminder for xx hours before the appointment or task is due".
I
was not aware that this was possible. I may be doing it unintentionally.
How
do you do it? I set a reminder by setting the date and the time of day in
the
appropropriate boxes next to "Reminder".

is
there a pattern in the time difference? Ie, its always 1 hr ahead?

I have a problem that occurs intermittently. If I set a reminder for 11
AM
in
the morning, a reminder window will pop up earlier on that day - I
don't
know
exactly when because it pops up as soon as I log in. If I open the task
and
change it to a later time and save it, it still pops up again. I assume
it
must be a user error but I cannot figure it out. Any ideas?

Thanks.
