Easy (I hope) "how to" question
 
I think this is an easy question, it's just that I'm unfamiliar with this
portion of the Outlook object model, so I'm hoping that someone can provide
me with some sample code that I can use. I'm assuming it's trivial code and
will take one of you less time to type out the code than it would for me to
find an appropriate article on Google and figure out what to do. If it's
non-trivial, please let me know and I will Google it and go through the
normal learning curve. :)

Okay, here's what I'm doing: I have an Outlook reminder which is set to go
off once/day for a task that I'm doing in Access. Once the task is
complete, I go back to Outlook and mark it as complete. Is there a simple
way to automate marking ONLY today's task as complete from Access, assuming
I've already done the appropriate log on stuff and have all those references
done. I'm just looking for the lines that would identify the correct
reminder in some fashion, and then set it to complete (until it recycles the
next day).


Thanks,
Rob

Rob,

When you select the task recurrence, select the "regenerate new task" ratio
button. This will create a new task when you mark the current task complete.
Assuming you have the reminder from a task, not an appointment.

I'm talking about doing this programmatically, not through the GUI. The
task already exists, I just need to figure out how to flag that day's
occurrence as complete, using the Outlook Library.
