Reminder (Off / On) Link With Reminder Data/Time
I'm using 2003. Created a custom task form and using the Reminder and
the Reminder Time fields. If I delete the date and time values, these fields display "None" and the Reminder is unchecked. However, if I uncheck the Reminder, it does not change the Reminder Date / Time fields to "None". I also notice if I change the date and then change the time, it changes the date back to today's date. Obviously I'm missing something. Do I need to create a custom field for the "time" field. Thank you. Shawn

Reminder (Off / On) Link With Reminder Data/Time
If the Reminder box is unchecked, why do you care about the values of the
Reminder Date / Time fields? I would suggest that you use two custom fields to gather the date and time information for the reminder. Then take the date from one and the time from the other and combine them to store in the actual ReminderTime property. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "srm" wrote in message ...

Thank you. Shawn Sue: Thank you for your help. The reason for setting the values of the Reminder Date / Time fields to "None" is for sorting. I include the Reminder time in the view and sort for things coming due. Since there is data in the field (even if the reminder is turned off), those items get sorted with the other items that also have dates / times but the reminder turned on. Shawn

If you want to set an Outlook date property to "None," use the value
#1/1/4501#. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "srm" wrote in message ...
