Does Outlook have to be open for my calendar reminders to pop up?

When i set reminders for events on Microsoft Outlook Calendar, they only pop
up if I have the program open. When I used to use the old Microsift Works
calendar, the reminders would occur even if Microsoft Works was not open.

How can I ensure that reminders will be ubiquitous?

Microsoft Works has a small reminder engine that runs at start up. Outlook
doesn't and needs to be running in order for your reminders to work.

Will Outlook Calendar in the near future have the ability to have the
reminders occur on your desktop even if Outlook isn't running?

When is Microsoft going to get into the 21st. century? I have been waiting
for calendar reminders since replacing Microsoft Works with Office 2003. My
MISTAKE!(Microsoft Works has a small reminder engine that runs at start up.
Outlook
doesn't and needs to be running in order for your reminders to work.) How
difficult could it be to use same technology with Office Calendar ? We who
need reminders do not always have our Office Program open throughout the day
and this reminder is very important to those of us with various appointments
throughout the day. Please consider this most urgent need and request for
your loyal constomers. User friendly is great!

The reminder engine in Works uses different technology than Outlook- outlook
uses the MAPI service and needs to load and run in the background for a
reminder service to use it. Minimize outlook to the tray and you won't know
its running - you'll get reminders as needed.

I have an issue with my outlook. WE are currenlty using 2003 and every one
else's reminder's pop up 30 or so minutes before theactual appoinment begins
but mine doesn't. It used to but some how stopped and i dont know why. I
have been trying to figure out a way to get them to pop up againbut the only
time they pop up is when i completely turn off my computer and open outlook
they show up. Does anyone know how to fix this????
