Controlling the time for reminders on all-day events & tasks

[rick cameron]

Hi, all

I find it very annoying that reminders for all-day events and for tasks
always fire at 08:00.

Are you aware of a utility out there that allows one to change the time at
which these reminders fire?

If not, I would like to try writing a program to do this. Do you know how to
hook into the timing of reminders? Pocket Plus does this with its repeating
alarms - so it must be possible!

Thanks

Pocket Informant http://www.pocketinformant.com is an alternative PIM
to Pocket Outlook (the program responsible for your reminders), and
still uses the Pocket outlook task database and sounds. But its Tasks
can be set to any time.

Like you, I find that 08:00 reminder a strangely restrictive design
decision, in an otherwise neat application.
