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?

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