Private Sub colReminders_ReminderAdd(ByVal ReminderObject As Reminder)

datReminder = oReminder.NextReminderDate
' if = 0 then due or past due reminder
If DateDiff("n", Now, datReminder) = 0 Then

Hello!

Something new in Outlook 2003: If you place a new Calendar-Item in the
past,
there will occur a reminder promptly!

As we use this method to hold out workhistory this new feature is very
nasty
for us.

Is it possible to place a vba-script in the "ThisOutlookSession"-Part of
the
VbaProject.OTM that deletes the marker for the reminder at the
calendar-item
while saving a new calendar-item? How is this possible? What is the
vba-code?

Our environment: Windows XP-SP2 with Office-Outlook 2003-SP2

Thanks for info!!!

Michel

Do you have macros enabled? If not the code will not run.

Hello!

Yes, macros are enabled. There are also some other macros in
ThisOutlookSession, e.g. an attachment-reminder for E-Mail.

Isn't it possible to connect the macro to the oppening of a new
calendar-item? Perhaps you can check at this moment while the date is in the
past or not and depending on this enable the reminder or not?

Thank you for help!!!

You'd probably be best off hooking into NewInspector to see when an item is
opened, checking to make sure it's a calendar item and then handling it's
Save event. During that event handler you can cancel the reminder flag:
AppointmentItem.ReminderSet = False.

Hi Ken,

thank you for the information.

Is it possible for you to send me the sub-code, as I'm not able to write it.

Sorry for complications...

There are examples of NewInspector handling at www.outlookcode.com, check
there for some code to get you started.
