How to Set Appointment Reminder to Alert on End Date or Time?
Outlook 2007 on XP SP3
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! -R. L.

How to Set Appointment Reminder to Alert on End Date or Time?
Unless you create an item at the end time I don't think you can do what you
want since typically people need to be reminded of an upcoming start. "Roger Lee" wrote in message ...

How to Set Appointment Reminder to Alert on End Date or Time?
Perhaps the solution lies in a macro or small script? Any other ideas?
Alternatives? Possibilities? -R. L.

How to Set Appointment Reminder to Alert on End Date or Time?
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. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

How to Set Appointment Reminder to Alert on End Date or Time?
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. -R. L.
