Does anyone know How to Send a daiy Reminder e-mail to another e-mail address
using Outlook 2003 ?

I could give you a simple vbs script that you could put in a text file and
you could have Window's Task Scheduler run the vbs script every day/every
workday, etc.
Let me know if you want that.

Or you could invite the person to a recurring meeting/task and turn on
reminders.

Thanks for the info, only trouble is when you try to set a reminder it does
not give you a choice for "everyday"

How would I make a vbs script and where would I put it?

Thanks,

You could create a .vbs file with something like:

'code start
Dim objOL 'As Outlook.Application
Dim objMail 'As Outlook.MailItem
Dim bolNewInstance 'As Boolean

Const olMailItem = 0

On Error Resume Next
Set objOL = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
bolNewInstance = False
If Err.Number = 429 Then
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
bolNewInstance = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0

Set objMail = objOL.CreateItem(olMailItem)
objMail.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
objMail.Subject = "my subject"
objMail.Body = "body of my message"
objMail.Send

Set objMail = Nothing
If bolNewInstance Then objOL.Quit
Set objOL = Nothing
'code end

If you double-click it, an email will be sent, so you could use Task
Scheduler to run it. Now depending on your version of Outlook, you may get a
security warning, in which case you could install Click Yes (the free version
works):

You would then wrap your code with the code on:
