    Outlook 2007 - Can you set task reminders daily?

    I want to add a task to my calender on Outlook 2007 and have it remind me every weekday at a specified time to carry out that task.

    There seems to be a way to do it, I can create the task, add the recurrence for every weekday, but it will only remind me to do it on the first occurrence, rather than each week.

    Where am I going wrong?

    Whats the problem Parm?.

    Add reoccuring event, add every day and specify your time.

    It alerts everyday at said time that you need to do something.

    Aha, it works with events and appointments but not with tasks. Thanks TiG.

    Out of curiousity though, is there anyway to do it with tasks? Daily reminders I mean.

    Surely you just click "Regenerate task when complete" option?

    But then I can't choose to be reminded on weekdays only. The options are:
    Every # days
    Every weekday
    Regenerate new task # days after each task is completed

    Sounds like I'm being really picky now but honestly I'm not.

    True, however look at it this way

    On Saturday, it'll generate a new task. You won't click done till Monday morning and THEN it'll generate a new task on Tuesday.

    That that'll change is that your Monday task will generate on Saturday and sit there.
