Hi, nourben.
I can do it with a script in Outlook. Is that an acceptable option?
rmcxb
It's acceptable for me. Can you pls assist with this?
David Lee
Love to. Here's a link to a post on my blog where I show how to do this.
Experts Exchange is like having an extremely knowledgeable team sitting and waiting for your call. Couldn't do my job half as well as I do without it!

Funny, I saw this before signing up for Experts-Exchange. Thanks for this but I'm trying to determine how to do this in Outlook 2010.
David Lee
That will work in 2010 also.

I suppose my issue is then that I don't see how to get into Visual Basic Editor. The closest I can come to finding anything about macros is under Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > macro settings. How do the steps relate to 2010?

Sorry, I thought you were saying that you didn't think the solution would work for 2010. I haven't written step by step instructions for 2010 yet. ALT+F11 will open the editor.

I didn't know about Alt-F11 -- Thank you! I was able to walk my way through creating the macro and is brought me down from 81 to 51 to 36 to 21 to 15 > I had to re run the macro a few times, but still, it worked!! Now to apply it to my managers system where he has hundreds of old reminders. Thanks mate.

Sorry, but I have to object to the notion that I "Did not get the right answer". The solution I posted works. How is that not the right answer?
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

My recommendation is to accept post http:a35444713 as the answer and award it the points. The solution does work, as verified by rmcxb. The initial post did have a a minor code error which I corrected in the post I'm recommending.
