Hi all,

I am new to the outlook programming and starting with a project where I
would like to create a public folder with a customized form. To start with a
simple form, it will have 4-5 fields. Among the fields are the Action Date,
Due Date, Author, reciepients(to field) and comments. I would like to set
up a action which will send a auto reminder email to the reciepients one week
prior to the due date.

So my questions a
What type of starting folder/outlook fom best suitable for this project and
how to go about setting up auto reminder with one week prior to the due date.

Any details for your experience would be appriciated.
Thanks

What you want to do is not possible with a custom form alone. It would require either an Exchange event sink to send out the reminders or an Outlook add-in or VBA code installed on at least one user's machine runing 24/7.

You could potentially use the task, appointment, or post forms for this.
