How do I set a reminder, not an appointment?

**Heber** · May 13th 08, 10:09 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring

There seems to be no easy way to set a simple reminder for myself. The best
I've found is to set up an appointment, set it to 0
minutes/personal/private/time free. Am I missing something, or is this a big
hole in outlook?

or you could use a task. Outlook is not an alarm clock - it has no way to
set a reminder that is not attached to an item.
