Mail Reminder Date (Follow Up Flag) Defaults to January 1, 4501

[Tim Martin]

When setting a "Reminder Date" in an Outlook 2007 e-mail reminder (Follow Up
Flag), the default date is 1/1/4501. To set the desired Reminder Date you
must click on the drop-down arrow to display the mini calendar and select a
date. However, when I click on a date, nothing happens. But if I click on the
Today button (which puts in the current date), then click on the Reminder
Date drop-down arrow again, I can now select the desired date.

Outlook started showing this behavior after I changed the Task default
reminder time. Changing the Task time back doesn't help.

Is there a way to get the reminder date to go back to the way it originally
worked, when it would match the end date of the reminder?

I noticed that the issue comes about and goes away based on the setting of the Quick Click for tasks. I set mine to "Complete" and now the default reminder date and time for Follow Up flags is now Saturday, January 01, 4501.
