on 10/8/2008 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
