It happened again the other day, I forgot a medical appointment.
Anybody care to recommend a program that will let me shedule a
reminder at least four months in advance and then nofify me the day
before/and or the the day of the appointment? I don't usually have my
speakers on so a visual or even a email reminder would be better.
Thanks
Glenn

This is a Date Reminder for recurring or nonrecurring events, like
birthdays, bills to pay, appointments etc... The date reminder can be
run from the Startup folder with an option to quit immediately, if there
is nothing to remind you of.
Features:

The reminders are listed in chronological order, beginning today, each
with day of week and number of days ahead. For recurring events only the
next one is listed.
Events may recur every year, month, week, day, or every 10 days, every 2
weeks, every 3 month etc.
Reminders can be marked "done", i.e. "dealt with". Past events will
remain in the list until they are marked "done". In an extra history
list you can review the last seven days.
An advance notice marker can be set a number of days before an event.

Calendar Magic is an easy-to-use freeware Windows 95/98/ME/XP based
program that is entertaining, informative, educational, and of equal
applicability in the home and in the office. Calendar Magic has also
been reported to run without problems on Windows NT/2K based PCs, but
the program has never been formally tested on such systems.
Features of Calendar Magic include:
- Full year and individual month Gregorian, Afghan, Armenian, Baha'i,
Bangla, Chinese, Coptic, Egyptian, Ethiopic, French Revolutionary,
Hebrew, Hindu Lunisolar (3 variants), Hindu Solar, Indian National,
Islamic Civil, Julian, Revised Julian, Parsi Fasli, Parsi Kadmi, Parsi
Shenshai, Persian (2 variants), Sikh Nanakshahi and Vietnamese
calendars. A user option is provided to choose between
displaying/printing calendars showing each week starting on a Monday
(in line with the ISO 8601 international standard), on a Sunday for
North American users, or on a Saturday for Middle East users.
- Alternative Gregorian "planning calendars".
- A month-by-month, side-by-side comparison of any two of the 23
calendar systems listed above. The display remains synchronised as you
change day, month and year values in either calendar system being
viewed. Again, users may choose between displaying each month with
weeks starting on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
- Date conversions among the 23 calendar systems listed above, plus
conversions to Balinese Pawukon, Thai solar, old Hindu Solar, old
Hindu Lunisolar and Mayan date formats. Julian day value, day of week
and day of year information is also displayed. For Gregorian dates,
many other facts are displayed, such as modified Julian day value,
Lilian day value and Rata Die day value, and year related information
including Roman numeral form, Dominical Letter(s), Dionysian Period,
Julian Period, Golden Number, Solar Number, Roman Indiction and Epact.
Various special days are also recognised (e.g. Halloween), as are
modern Olympic years, Commonwealth Games years, European Athletics
Championship years, and World Athletic Championship years.

Hebrew festivals and Islamic festivals for any (Gregorian) year. In
addition, Hindu festivals may be listed for any year in the range 2000
to 2043, Baha'i festivals from 1845 onwards, Buddhist and Chinese
festivals from 1645 to 3000, and Sikh Nanakshahi festivals from 1999

specified Gregorian date d/m occurs for each of the years in the
specified range y1 to y2.
- "In Which Months?" command button to list, for a given year, the
months in which a specified day of the month falls on a specified
weekday.
- The ability to create, display, update and delete reminders for events
(birthdays, anniversaries, meetings etc.) for "this year", "next year"
or "every year". When Calendar Magic is started up, both visual and
audible warnings are given for "imminent" events (those occurring
within the next seven days) for which reminders have been set. In
addition, a calendar for any month, in this year or next year, may be
displayed with day numbers highlighted in red for those days in the
month for which reminders have been set. Left-clicking on any "red
day" will cause the reminder(s) set for that day to be listed.
- Out-of-date reminders are also automatically purged by Calendar Magic
and appended to a text file, purged.dat, for later reference, if
needed.
- A multi-sheet "Quick Notes" facility for holding miscellaneous plain
text items.
- An "alarm clock" facility for defining an alarm for a given time on a
given date. A user may specify the duration of the alarm which may be
repeated, after a specified "quiet" time, up to five more times.
- "This is your life" information including day-of-the-week on which you
were born, number of days you have lived, your Zodiac sign, some
biorhythm data, and the day-of-the-week on which your next birthday
falls. Your "Chinese age" and your date of birth in many other
calendar systems are also displayed.

Reminder is a program designed to allow you to enter events in the
program and on the dates you choose, a message will pop up and remind
you of them.
Reminder is a simple, easy to use program, some of the programs similar
to this one are so complicated that no one will use them. This is not
the case with Reminder.
When you start the program, a small icon will appear in the System Tray
next to the clock and also on your Desktop. The Desktop Icon can be
moved anywhere you wish or you can remove it entirely. Right click the
icon to access the program Menu or double click to start the main
program.
There are now four types of Reminder to choose from:
- Reminder, the most flexible, allows you to choose the Date and Time of
your Reminders and also an Interval between Reminders.
- Weekly Reminder, When you wish to be reminded on a certain day of the
week instead of a particular date, you use the Weekly Reminder
function.
- Daily Reminder, When you wish to be reminded every day instead of a
particular date, you use the Daily Reminder function.
- Monthly Reminder, When you wish to be reminded on a certain day of the
Month instead of a particular date, you use the Monthly Reminder
function.

Free Reminder Software
======================
Remind-Me-Please is a freeware reminder program which will give you
advance warning of upcoming events, appointments, TV programs, movies,
birthdays and so on. Enter one-off or repeating events: daily, weekly,
monthly, yearly and specials like 'Every two weeks from 1/1/2002' or
'Third Sunday of each month'.
I use this program to remind me about bills. I've got it set up so my
phone bill repeats every 2 months and gives me 7 days of warnings before
it falls due. Same with utility bills, car registration, insurance, etc,
etc.. Once it's set up properly it'll give you a splash screen listing
all upcoming events whenever you reboot your computer, followed by a
splash screen for items due NOW.
As an added bonus, this program will also run in a networked
environment. You can allocate a username to each machine and point each
one to a central shared database. Anyone can then enter 'SHARED' events
(e.g. Family outings, company meetings) which will show up on everyone
else's screen. Private reminders will only show on the PC which they
were entered on. I know you can do some of this stuff on Outlook, but my
program isn't a resource hog.
Remind me please will run in the System tray, and optionally plays a WAV
file when events occur.

"UK's Kalendar" is a MS Windows program intended to remind you of
upcoming events and todos. There are several views for your dates that
are organized similar to a calendar sheet. Dates and appointments can be
entered into the calendar via an input form. You can enter a forewarn
time, so as long as "UK's Kalendar" is running in the background you'll
be reminded of your dates as soon as the forewarn time is reached.
Independent from the calendar function there is also a todo list where
you can enter tasks with a deadline and a forewarn time. If the forewarn
time is reached, "UK's Kalendar" will inform you of the due tasks with
symbols and colors.
The program was tested under the MS Windows versions 98SE and 2000.

========================================================================
This program has a collection of features designed to keep day-to-day
tasks under control. There are sections for listing yearly, monthly,
weekly and daily tasks and responsibilities based on their frequency of
occurrence.
The contact manager can open an e-mail client, dial a contact's number
and open their Web site at a click of a button.
A note section provides a place to jot down any thought or information.
There is also a basic to-do list. The help tool tracks the section users
are working in and indicates the function of that section.
