Outlook 2003 11.6568.6568 SP2
Right click on email set reminder. I set it for today at 3:00 am instead of 3:00 pm. It was already 11:00 am when I set it. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

I'm sorry, I thought it was obvious; why can reminders be set for a time that
has already past? The reminder will never be triggered. "Brian Tillman" wrote: Dan1roda wrote: Outlook 2003 11.6568.6568 SP2 Right click on email set reminder.

The most logical reason seems to me to be that the writers of Outlook didn't implement a check, but I don't see why anyone should care. It certainly doesn't hurt anything to set the reminder for some time in the past. I'd like to know why you think it's an issue. -- Brian Tillman

Reminder in outlook 2003 by flagging email can be set in past
Older versions of Outlook didn't allow a reminder on an item in the past.
There were lots of complaints so it was changed in Outlook 2003. You can't please everyone shrug. The reminder would fire immediately on a past due reminder but if one doesn't want that it's certainly easy enough to kill the reminder flag before saving the item. And how many people create past due appointments very often? -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...

Yes people don't often set a reminder in the past on purpose, but if you do
it by mistake you will never be notified of the important task. I can't think of a reason why you would want to set a reminder in the past. Why would people complain about that?

If it is done by mistake you may miss an important task. No?
