Event notification?

W

Wenda Stephens

I am looking on a way to have my Events notify me when I am NOT actually in the Office software..? I obviously use my computer for other things then writing letters & playing with my calendar. There should be some way to setup for something in my task bar to monitor when my 2:00 appointment is comming up without office having to be up and running

If yr calendar, presumably OL, is closed how would monitor an appointment?
Leave OL running in the background

So does this mean that Microsoft has not come up with a concept of running something in the task bar? Like anti-virus does, Spam & advertising blockers do, or MSN messenger does? Your saying that I always need it open as a main running program? Even if it is minimized it is easy to close this window by mistake thinking you are closing something else

Thats correct, it has to be run minimised.
There are some addons/apps that state that they can minimise OL/OE to the
task bar. I havent used any, eg
