Reminder for Task Item.

[Lothar Belle]

Him
I am creating a spezific taskrequest formular.
The Due-Date was set outomatic by
Item.DueDate = Date + 14
How can i automatically activate the reminder option when the recipient
accept the Task

I used the folowing code:
Item.ReminderTime=Date + 14
Item.ReminderSet=True
But it doesn`t work.
When i send the Task i get a message which says
"the reminder is deaktivated because i mm not responsable for the task.
The reminder is also deaktivated by the recipient.

I need a possibillity to activate the reminder during the acception of the
task.

Thank you
Lothar

You can't do what you want, as the message indicated. Once you send off a
task for assignment you can't add a reminder to it, the person who owns the
task now has to do that.

You can't add a reminder to someone else's task, period. There is no event
for that because it cannot be done. It doesn't matter how many times you ask
the question, the answer will always be no.

If you like, you can set up a duplicate task with the reminder set to
the same time. Keep it for yourself so you know when the assigned task
is due. But Ken is right; only the assignee can set the reminder for
the assigned task.
