Tasks and reminders
Many of my tasks repeat daily, and are not tied to any particular
time. When adding a task, all I really want is the reminder. Here's what happens: Add task. Start Date: None. Due Date: None. Reminder box shows today's date at 0800, although it's now 1400. I change the reminder to 3/18 at 1200. Then I click Recurrence Daily Start 3/18. When I click OK, the reminder box has changed to 3/18 at 0800 and the Due Date box has changed to 3/18. I change the Due Date back to None and change the reminder back to 1200. Must be doing something wrong here? Is there a simpler way to accomplish this? -- The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none. ....Thomas Carlyle

Tasks and reminders
To make things even worse, I just discovered that Outlook is unchecking the Reminder box after the first occurrence. ???
