reminder settings

[Mike F]

When due date is set for task it automatically sets reminder date 4 days
prior to due date rather than on due date.

I have tried changing settings, runnning the /cleanrimders and /cleanprofile
switches

THis is in Outlook 2007 which I was just upgraded to from 2003

Are you syncing with any devices? Are the reminders set for 4 days ahead at
the time you create the task or some time later? You can add the reminder
time field to the view if it's set for the correct when you make it and
watch to see when it changes.

Was the task created to start on Mar 2?

Start Date - March 2, 2009
Due Date - March 6, 2009

These are the dates you created the task to start and end.

Reminder Option checked - Match 6, 2009

The reminder fires on the due date.
