MS Outlook schedule reminder question

[Yossarian]

I use MS Outlook 2000 SR 1 at work with Windows 2k. If I schedule a meeting, the reminder only pops up if I'm in the Calendar function or "Outlook Today". It never works if I'm in the Inbox. Is this how it's supposed to work? It pisses me off because I missed a mtg today because I was reading a lot of email and the reminder never came up.

It should pop up as long as you have Outlook open, and it should have been listed on your mini-calendar on the Outlook today screen..

make sure the box is checked for "show reminder" on the appt itself.


I print out the Outlook Today page and use that as my phone log & task reminder each day
