Recurring Tasks & Reminders

[Cindy Mikeworth]

I have setup several recurring reminders with reminder alarms, however when
I 'complete' one of these tasks, the reminder for all future occurances is
removed.

Is there a setting or method to prevent this from happening in Outlook 2007?

Is there a better approach?

I have setup several recurring reminders with reminder alarms,
however when I 'complete' one of these tasks, the reminder for all
future occurances is removed.

If the task is complete, then it is over and you have no need of further
reminders. Instead, if the task is ongoing, dismiss the reminder and a new
one should be generated for the next recurrence.

I tried that one already. Dismissing the reminder does not complete the
task. So the task remains open for that day.

I know of no effective solution for recurring Tasks - and they're my pet
part of Outlook.

I make recurring Events as a workaround. It's not perfect either.

Oddly enough -- completing the task in Outlook 2007 seems to be working for
me today -- the start date is advancing and the reminder is staying intact.

I swear it wasn't working this weekend.
