Thanks for the sharing, but if your outlook synchronize with the WinPST Share Outlook or Microsoft Exchanger, how do you turn off the Reminder? Since every synchronizing will update your reminder. -

I have microsoft outlook 2000. I set reminders frequently for follow up on sales calls and to check on receipt of payments. I usually need to snooze these reminders sometimes 2 hours and sometimes for an entire day. Is there a way that I can select all the reminders at one time and snooze them for 2 hours all at once? I have tried to highlight the reminder and then select Ctrl to high light another reminder but I am un able to select more than one. I have to individually one reminder at a time snooze it or be reminded again and specify the time. I would like to select multiple reminders at once and snooze them all. Again this is within the calendar section of microsoft outlook. Thanks
