Reminder Window

[rdubhokie]

I recall in Outlook 2003 that the Reminder Window had two headers: "Subject"
& "Reminder Time". Since being upgraded to Outlook 2007 last week, I noticed
that the Reminder Window now has these two headers: "Subject" & "Due In". Is
there away to swap out the "Due In" header and replace it with the "Reminder
Time" header?

Thanks.

You remember wrong. The view is the same in both 2003 and 2007.

Diane, thanks for your quick response.

I will concede that I remembered wrong as to the available columns.
However, it seems that the calculation of "overdue" is different. In 2003,
it was calculating "overdue" against the Reminder Date/Time and in 2007 it is
calculating "overdue" against the Due Date/Time. I would still like for 2007
to calculate "overdue" against the Reminder Date/Time. Is there a way to
specify how Outlook performs that calculation?

E.g. (I don't care that my due date is in 4 days, but I do care that my
reminder triggered 2 hours ago.)

Thanks again for your help.

SP2 changed how the due time is listed for tasks. It ignores the time set on
the item and uses the end of the workday as set in tools, options, calendar
options. Other item types should use the due date as defined by the
reminder, only tasks are using the end of the day.

I don't think I've adequately described my issue. Here is an example.

Example:
I have a Task set with a due date of 7/13/09 (due time is not relevant to
how I'm using Tasks). The Reminder is set for 7/8/09 at 11:00 AM. The 2007
reminder window is showing the Task as Due in "4 days". In 2003, the
reminder window would be showing the Task as Due in "22 hours overdue".

Using the example above, is there a way for me to reconfigure the 2007
reminder window to show Due in "22 hours overdue" instead of Due in "4 days".

Thanks.

BTW - here is a screenshot of the new behavior - this is what you are seeing
now.

Hmm. Where does the "two hours" come from? If the reminder fires at 10:00 AM
and the task is due at 5:00 PM, then the "Due in" should be seven hours,
shouldn't it?

So... is that the end of discussion?

I haven't figured it out either for the last 7 months. A few months ago, I
thought it was based on the end of day setup as Diane indicated, however the
screen shot disproves that theory. Also, I have my day end at six p.m. and
my tasks reiminders follow no logic as described that I've been able to pin
down.

That Tasks and reminder window are very nice features... I wish they would
work right.
