Reminder Object (Outlook)
Represents an Outlook reminder.
Remarks
Reminders allow users to keep track of upcoming appointments by scheduling a pop-up dialog box to appear at a given time. In addition to appointments, reminders can occur for tasks, contacts and e-mail messages.
Use Reminders(index), where index is the name or index number of the reminder, to return a single Reminder object.
Reminders are created programmatically when a new Microsoft Outlook item, such as an AppointmentItem object, is created and the item 's ReminderSet property is set to True.
Use the Reminders collection's Remove method to remove a Reminder object from the collection. Once a reminder is removed from its associated item, the AppointmentItem object's ReminderSet property is set to False.
Example
The following example displays the caption of the first reminder in the collection.
Sub ViewReminderInfo()
'Displays information about first reminder in collection
Dim colReminders As Outlook.Reminders
Dim objRem As Reminder
Set colReminders = Application.Reminders
'If there are reminders, display message
If colReminders.Count <> 0 Then
Set objRem = colReminders.Item(1)
MsgBox "The caption of the first reminder in the collection is: " & _
objRem.Caption
Else
MsgBox "There are no reminders in the collection."
End If
End Sub
The following example creates a new appointment item and sets the ReminderSet property to True, adding a new Reminder object to the Reminders collection.
Sub AddAppt()
'Adds a new appointment and reminder to the reminders collection
Dim objApt As AppointmentItem
Set objApt = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
objApt.ReminderSet = True
objApt.Subject = "Tuesday's meeting"
objApt.Save
End Sub
