note flag, remind me later

[bushie3]

Does this give you a reminder, if so are there some kind of setting, like 2
days out ,one day out, 1 hour out if you are using for appointments

Do you mean the built-in sample flag with that text? The text on that flag
is just suggestive of what one can do with Note Flags - there's no action
that can be automatically associated with it.

However depending on the version you're running, you can get some reminder
capability if you are also running Outlook:

2003? Not automatically. You would have to select the note text and then
use Tools | Create Outlook Item | Create Outlook Task. This copies the
text into a new OL task but there is no link between the task in OL and the
Flag in ON.

2007? You can create reminders using the buttons on the Outlook Task
toolbar.
