Event reminders

[Big Smurf]

Hi All

I have Outlook 2002 and have a bit of a problem. You know when you set a
reminder for an appointment or something similar, then your reminder
pops up and tells you "it's time mate"

Now, this will happen as long as the outlook is open, but it won't if
outlook is closed.
Is there any way I can enable the reminder to sit in the sys tray and
pop up when scheduled even if the outlook is closed ?
I used to have Works Suite 99 before and the calendar had the reminder
doing exactly that.

Any help will be appreciated.

Outlook needs to be open for any part of it to work. There are third party
programs that will keep a "stub" of Outlook open so that reminders will
fire, etc. The one that I used to use was Magic Mail Monitor. Search for
it on google.com or see this page for some suggestions:
