|| only if you know VBA programming - you might be able to write
|| something yourself
||
|| if outlook 2007 is in your future, the default reminder time for
|| same day tasks is 1 hr before the end of the day. Next days tasks
|| have a reminder at the start of the next day.
|
| Ah, too bad. In the govt we're still using 2000, so who knows _when_
| we'll get up to 2007?! <g>

|||
||| Hmmm, okay. How about a workaround of any sort? I don't know much
||| about O2K in many respects, but maybe thinking outside the box ...
||| is there a way to right-click a bunch of messages and invoke a
||| macro that _would_ change the flag reminder time to that current
||| day at, say, 16:30 for all the selected messages? I know it's a
||| stretch, but won't know till I ask. <g>
|||
||| Thanks.

|||| ||||| Currently, when I flag something via the rules wizard, if I want
||||| the item to pop up a prompt on the same day, I must choose "0"
||||| days. Unfortunately, what that does is flag the message for the
||||| time it arrives, which isn't helpful. Yet flagging it for the
||||| day after, i.e., "1" day, is again not helpful. What is needed
||||| is to flag a message for the same day but for 16:50 or other
||||| specific time.
|||||
||||| Is there any way to do this via, say, custom actions or other?
||||| I've looked at what's available via slipstick
