Outlook Task Lists

[sarah shaw]

I have set up two new task lists within outlook but when I
try to set a reminder I get an error message saying that I
can't set a reminder because the task is not part of my
calender or task list.

Is there a way of getting round this and setting it so I
can set reminders in the new lists I have set up?

By default, reminders only fire from the original Inbox, Calendar,
Contacts and Tasks folders in the default mail store (the set of folders
where your mail is delivered). They won't fire from user-created
folders.

There's a 3rd party add-in available for Outlook 2000 (if configured in
Corporate/Workgroup mode), Outlook 2002, and Outlook 2003 that will add
reminder functionality to most other folders in the default mail
store...look here:

Unfortunately, Extended Reminders cannot be used with the Internet Mail
Only mode of Outlook 2000, nor can it be used with earlier versions of
Outlook.
