Reminders Object

  • Article
Outlook Developer Reference

Contains a collection of all the Reminder objects in a Microsoft Outlook application that represent the reminders for all pending items.

Remarks

Use the Application object's Reminders property to return the Reminders collection. Use Reminders(

index

), where

index

is the name or ordinal value of the reminder, to return a single Reminder object.

Reminders are created programmatically when a new Microsoft Outlook item is created with a reminder. For example, a reminder is created when an AppointmentItem object is created and the AppointmentItem object's ReminderSet property is set to True.

Example

The following example displays the captions of each reminder in the list.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub ViewReminderInfo()
    'Lists reminder caption information
    Dim objRem As Reminder
    Dim objRems As Reminders
    Dim strTitle As String
    Dim strReport As String

Set objRems = Application.Reminders
strTitle = "Current Reminders:"
'If there are reminders, display message
If Application.Reminders.Count <> 0 Then
    For Each objRem In objRems
        'If string is empty, create new string
        If strReport = "" Then
            strReport = objRem.Caption & vbCr
        Else
            'Add info to string
            strReport = strReport & objRem.Caption & vbCr
        End If
    Next objRem
    'Display report in dialog
    MsgBox strTitle & vbCr & vbCr & strReport
Else
    MsgBox "There are no reminders in the collection."
End If



End Sub

The following example creates a new appointment item and sets the ReminderSet property to True, adding a new Reminder object to the Reminders collection.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub AddAppt()
    'Adds a new appointment and reminder to the reminders collection
    Dim objApt As AppointmentItem

Set objApt = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
objApt.ReminderSet = True
objApt.Subject = "Tuesday's meeting"
objApt.Save



End Sub
