Setting Reminders for Items that are located in a Public Folder

[Michael Pare]

I am trying to figure out a way to set reminders for an
item that is located in a public folder. I would like to
be able to specify the users who would receive the
reminder. I have tried various tricks programattically,
using various scripts and customized forms - but I have
not been able to come up with a suitable solution.

Does anyone know of a way to do this, or a good third-
party utility that does this? I don't want anything
complex - as I was trying to work through the problem, my
solution started to resemble a Rube Goldberg device -
scheduled tasks, scripts, custom forms, all trigerring
one another, etc etc - and there were still too many
instances where it wouldn't work and the users wouldn't
receive their reminders.

Thanks,
Michael Pare

One easy solution (although not free)

Look for a product called Reminder Manager. It works very well.
