I'm looking for an easy-to-use calendar with good reminder and recurrence features. I've tried Outlook 2000, as well as the Google and Yahoo calendars, and they do not offer reminders weeks or months before the event (for things like passport renewals) and multiple reminders. Toby Price
There are dozens of reminder programs, online reminder services and calendars, but it may be hard to find one that has the exact features you want. The popular reminder services include Memo To Me (memotome.com) and Online Reminders (onlinereminders.net).
For desktop software, you could try Multi-Reminders, which is free, or look at Remind-Me, Secure Reminder or Star Reminder, which seem reasonably priced as shareware. I have not tried them myself.
The online calendars look primitive compared to Outlook 2007, which I do use, but you could synchronise Outlook with Airset or (via IntelliSync) the Yahoo! Calendar, and do the extra reminders a different way.
Backchat: Henry Malt points out that: "Outlook offers a selection of reminder times, but these are templates; they can be edited." You can, for example, take the "2 weeks" option and simply change the number. David Wood says: "Go to Help and search for 'Create reminders as far in advance as you want' and 'Create a recurring calendar reminder'."
