"Due in" Field Shows Incorrect Time Remaining Before Appointment

[Guest]

When a reminder fires for an appointment more than a day in advance in Outlook 2002, the "Due in" field in the reminder shows the incorrect time remaining until the appointment. For example, I got a reminder on Monday, February 16, 2004 3:46 p.m. EST for an appointment occurring Wednesday, February 18, 2004 9:30 a.m.--two days later. However, the "Due in" field in the reminder shows the appointment to be due in "1 day.

The appointment reminder is set for two days before the appointment. Why does the reminder say the appointment is due in 1 day rather than 2 days? Or 1.7 days? Or 41 hours? If it is a bug, is there a fix

No fix that I know of, the dialog will truncate fractional parts of
units such as days.
