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? |

Outlook doesn't and needs to be running in order for your reminders to work. -- Brian Tillman |

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

Does Outlook have to be open for my calendar reminders to pop
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! "Vince Averello [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: MS hasn't announced future features in Outlook...

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. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Does Outlook have to be open for my calendar reminders to pop
Do you know if there is a way to have Alerts and Reminders work for everyone
who uses a calendar that one person created and shared and allows others to creat, edit, and delte items from the calendar? We can see the apppointments and change them but only the person who created the original shared custom calendar gets the 15 minite alerts?? WE use Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2003 Server Thanks Bob "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: 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.

POOR ANSWER. I miss the reminders popping up when I turn on my computer.
Seems strange that although the 'TECHNOLOGY' is different from the Works calendar compared to the Outlook 2007 calendar that your professional software engineers haven't yet found a solution to this dilemma; Especially since the first posting was over 4 years ago.

"JOY" wrote in message ... POOR ANSWER. Jeeeze! Just because it's not what you want to hear, although it's correct, does not make it a "poor" answer! I miss the reminders popping up when I turn on my computer. Then add Outlook to your start-up folder.... Seems strange that although the 'TECHNOLOGY' is different from the Works calendar compared to the Outlook 2007 calendar that your professional software engineers haven't yet found a solution to this dilemma; Especially since the first posting was over 4 years ago.
