Task List-Outlook 2000

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is possible. I want to remind myself
that my passport is going to expire in 5 years. I don't
want to rely on getting mail to renew it. Last time my
passport expired and it's a real pain to get a new one
from scratch.

I don't want this task displaying on my task list for the
next 5 years. Is there a way to have it display about 2
months prior? I tried the start on option and that
doesn't seem to do it. Any suggestions? Should I be
doing this as a task?

Thanks.

Yes, it is a task but for your situation (seeing as how renewing a passport
is a multi-part task) I would set an appointment for the date your passport
expires and set a reminder 2 months before hand. You can set the reminder
by typing 2m in the reminder window. And do not dismiss the reminder - just
snooze it for the appropriate time to get the first part of the task out of
the way.

Or, you could use an add-in called Taskline to do this for you.
