In Outlook, when I ask for a timed reminder on my Task List, it waits until AFTER the time to remind me, I'm sure there must be a Preference I can change, but I can't find it.

On the toolbar at top left, click on Tools then Options. A Preferences box opens where you can set the default reminder time for your tasks.

Alternatively, you can set a reminder time for each new task: click on File, New, Task. The task detailbox opens and you can set the reminder time (about half way down on the left of the box).

To alter the reminder time for existing tasks, click on the item in your task list and adjust the reminder time in the task detail box.

Thanks for the reply. We tried adjusting the settings to even 5 minutes before...both from Tools/Options/Preferences/Default Reminder Time and adjusting the properties of the Task itself...and still have intermidant results (works sometimes..sometimes is late or doesn't work).....It works all of the time if Tasksis opened and Outlook is "on top"....Any ideas?

I have had the same problem, except the reminders do not show up at all, even when set to remind of appoitments 15 minutes in advance, if anyone know how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.
