I have a recurring daily appt that is for one week (weekdays only). Outlook
will not let me set the reminder for 2 weeks. I get the following message:
"The reminder for an ocurrence of "appt" cannot be set to appear before the
previous occurence. Shorten the reminder time or lengthen the recurrence
period."

I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it. help.

Reminders for recurring appointments can't be set for before the previous
occurrence - so a daily appointment can't have a reminder longer than
23h59m. To be reminded two weeks in advance of the first day, create an
appointment 2 weeks before and set a reminder - or create it on the start
date with a 2 week reminder.
