Tasks would serve the purpose yes, but the calendar is more convenient. I'm
sure one can write a macro somewhere along the lines of:
1. On close
2. Retrieve end date.
3. Subtract end date from start date: store variable
4. Set reminder hours = variable
5. Save and close

If anyone can translate the above into the correct objects in Outlook, that
would greatly appreciated. I'm sure many other users would enjoy such
functionality within the calendar. Thank you in advance for you help.

I'm not aware of any macro or script - you could snooze it for xx hours or
xx days so it fires near the end but you'll need to figure out how long to
snooze it for - you can type the snooze time in as 37.5 hours or 4.5 days
once you figure out how long it needs to be snoozed for. I'd probably just
make a task with a reminder for the end though.

Perhaps the solution lies in a macro or small script? Any other ideas?
Alternatives? Possibilities?

want since typically people need to be reminded of an upcoming start.

How do we set events to alert us based on the end date or time rather
than
the start date/time? Many events in our calendar span multiple days and
it
would be very convenient to be reminded x hours/days before the event
ends.
Thanks in advance for your help!
