Possible to Create Reminder without Appointment?

[willkelleher]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to create a reminder without
an associated appointment. The only references I can find to creating
reminders refer to using the SetReminder option on an
AppointmentItem. The Outlook Object Model Reference doesn't help much
either.

If it's not possible to create a reminder without an appointment or
task, is it possible to create an invisible task and set a visible
reminder for it?

Thanks,

Will Kelleher

Will,

If there's no task, meeting, etc, what is the reminder reminding you
of?

I'm trying to make a local reminder for a shared calendar
appointment. I know that's not possible out-of-the-box, but I was
hoping I could figure a way to make something work using VBA.

Sorry, wish I could be more help here. Maybe someone else will come
along who can be of more assistance.

What you want to do took Ken Slovak a couple of years to work out for his Reminder Manager application at http://www.slovaktech.com. It's not something you can do natively with Outlook VBA.
