Reminders - help needed

[Neil Hindry]

I wonder if you can help me with a something I want to do in Outlook. I want
to be able to enter things like people's birthday for example and I want to
be reminded of it on the day or a set number of days before hand. However,
I do not want to have to specify a time of day as I never know what time I
am going to turn on my PC. Also I want a birthday reminder to recur each
year without me needing to enter it each year.
Anyone know how I can do this in Outlook or even if it is possible?

Also I need to know whether I have to open Outlook every day or whether it
will automatically remind me without opening it up.

Can anyone help me with these queries?

The reason I want to use Outlook is because I am going to buy a HP iPAQ PDA
in the next few days and that uses Outlook as its organiser.
I hope someone can help me.

I appreciate any help and information given.

Thanks!!

As far as i know you need to start outlook to get the reminders. as for not setting the time of day, just make the reminder an "all day event" set the reminder for however many days in advance you want it. When you do start the computer, and outlook, you'll get the reminder untill you dismiss it
