In OL2003 the new alert pop ups. Does anyone know the
maximum time that this feature can be set to display an
alert?
Tools>Options>E-mail Options>Advanced E-mail Options>Desktop Alert Settings
allows you to set an upper limit of 30 seconds. If you need a longer time,
you can add a registry key.
Create a DWORD key of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\DesktopAlerts\TimeOn
and give it a value larger than 27000. The equation that you can use to
translate the value (in milliseconds less 3000) to seconds is:
(v+3000)/1000=t in seconds. Thus, 27000 should be 30 seconds, and 57000
would be one minute. I don't know the maximum value, but a DWORD is a 32
bit integer, so the maximum value is probably 68 years. If a 16 bit value
is used, the limit is about 6 days. You do not need to restart Outlook for
the change to take effect and the Desktop Alert Settings page will not
appear different. It won't say anything larger than 30 seconds.7fff
