Do you and your fiancee use Outlook 2003 on WinXPpro? The Outlook reminders worked fine in Outlook 2000 on Win2k . . . and it works fine on my home system (Outlook 2002 on WinXPhome). I suspect that they changed (broke) something in Outlook 2003. Mathcad never popped to the front at work . . . Win2k or WinXPpro . . . but it does at home on WinXPhome. Perhaps there's something going-on with NOT being an Admin (aka SuperUser) at work? Regardless, it still sounds like an interesting learning experience to be able to do what I want to do :-) Saber Of Borg
