Hi, jdana.<br />

Reminder is set via a checkbox in an appointment/task. &nbsp;If you don't want a reminder for a given item, then uncheck the box. &nbsp;If the box is checked, then Outlook is going to dispaly a reminder. &nbsp;There s no setting in Outlook to tell it to only display reminders for future events.

Hi, jdana.

Reminder is set via a checkbox in an appointment/task.  If you don't want a reminder for a given item, then uncheck the box.  If the box is checked, then Outlook is going to dispaly a reminder.  There s no setting in Outlook to tell it to only display reminders for future events.

<div>
Deselecting the Reminder checkbox or clicking OK when the reminder comes up - It's 6 of one / half a dozen the other. &nbsp;Anyone aware of a little VBA out there that would automatically deselect the Reminder check box if the time is in the past?

I not only use Outlook for future events. &nbsp;I also use it as a timesheet, entering the day's events at the end of the day. &nbsp;(I then push these events into QuickBooks at the end of the month.) &nbsp;Anyway, when I enter all my past events, the Reminder tool goes off with each event. &nbsp;I don't want to disable my reminder tool, because it's absolutely critical for future events. &nbsp;A &quot;smart&quot; reminder tool, however, that recognizes that newly created past events don't necessitate a reminder would be terrific. &nbsp;Is this possible? &nbsp;

Outlook 2007 - Is it possible to disable reminders for events created in the past?
