Hi,

I am trying to send out an Outlook calendar reminder as an attachment to an
email. Does anyone know how to do this? The reason I want to send the
reminder this way, and not through the calendar itself as a meeting, is
because I am sending it to a very large distribution list and I also want to
send a fancy email communication along with it. The reminder is for all
employees in the group to fill out their time sheets each morning, and so
after the employee receives the message with the attachment and after they
double-click on it, the reminder should go into their outlook calendar. The
calendar reminder would pop up at 8:30am each morning (it is a recurring
reminder) asking "Have you filled out your time sheet today?" I have seen
this done, but I can't seem to replicate it. Can anyone provide some
assistance?

Thanks!

It would be a task. Look under the actions menu to send as an attachment.
Tell the user to drag it to their tasks folder.
