How can i change the priority default on a new task to high instead of normal?
and How can i change the task reminder checkbox default to unchecked when i
select a date?

Making the default High is pretty easy: Create a new task with the Priority set to High and publish it as a form to the Tasks folder, then make it the default form for the folder.

Suppressing the task reminder would be pretty tough. It makes my head hurt to think about all the possible permutations -- like having a reminder intentionally set and then changing the date. If you can work out a flow chart of all the possible cases, it probably can be coded, though, using the PropertyChange event.

thanks for the response. i created a vbscript that did the work. once a user
selects a date, outlook automatically checks the reminder. i set an event to
fire when after that to uncheck the box.
