Tasks reminders in the calendar.
I've allready googled around but it looks to me it's impossible to show tasks reminders (not start and due dates) in the calendar. If this is true is unbeleivable! What the hell of integrated product is this? If we have a calendar that handles reminders, how could MS forget to integrate wherever-generated reminders in the calendar? Outlook 2003 Regards

I ve always wanted that feature. It seems that would be a pretty logical/resonable funtion to have.... or... if someone knows how to have tasks appear on the homepage task list as a reminder, as opposed to having the task sitting there all the time. I don't need to be reminded of a task that is due in one year, however, there it sits with all of the current tasks. Jonathan B.

Getting "Calendar" in Microsoft Publisher 2007 to make a basic calendar that cycles through the months.
Hi all I'm trying to make a calendar that cycles (January February March etc.) starting from 2010 to when ever in MS Publisher. I have Calendar Creator by Broudbund that does this but whenever I converted to a PDF file, the file for each month is a little under 5 MB (I think because it is created as a JPEG file) which is not good for my application. Whenever I convert the MS Publisher "Calendar" to a PDF file it runs about 72 kB.

Exporting additional outlook calendars
Hi, I'm using Outlook at work and we're trying to find a way to import/ export additional outlook calendars. I haven't had any trouble importing/exporting to Excel my mailbox's personal calendar, but that is the only option I am presented with when trying to import/export -- there is no option to select which calendar to import/export. Anyone done this before? Is it even possible? Is it just an outlook limitation? What about plugins? I googled some plugins eg. Outlook Export and they seem to allow you to select particular/events dates to export which would be great, though ...
Set reminder for tomorrow in a new message in less than 5 clicks?
When I have a message in my inbox or any other folder, if I click on the tomorrow flag, a reminder is automatically set for 9am the following day.

As I send a lot of Email that I want to follow-up on the next day, I would like to reduce the 5 clicks to one click or a hot key. Suggestions? Which version of Outlook are you using? Outlook 2007?

Updating tasks with VBA script
