I would like to replace the Outlook 2003 default Reminder form. I have always
hated it's rather simplistic combo box approach with such limited choices of
times that a reminder can be set to re-display.
I want to replace Outlook's default Reminder form with a graphical interface
form that allows picking from a more compact and easier to use YY MM DD HH MM
SS set of dials. I have created such a form that works perfectly in Access.
But of course, Access' form creation and handling is not easily available
within Outlook.
I have replaced other Outlook forms before such as Contact and Message forms
so I am basically familiar with some of the hoops I have to jump through to
create custom forms and change the Registry to set them as new default forms.
It has been a while so I may be a bit dusty on those procedures. But it seems
to me that the Reminder form wasn't among those forms that use that type of
procedure.
I have many years of faily extensive experience programming in VB and VBA so
a programming solution is no real obstacle. I use Office 2003 Pro with all
the latest upgrades and fixes. I also have and use often a number of other
Office related apps such as Front Page and Publisher. In most of these I have
developed some fairly extensive programming solutions.
If anyone has any ideas about where I can go to get a start in the right
direction, I would certainly appreciate it!
