SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Outlook 97, when you download appointments to the Timex Data
Link Watch and choose not to set reminders in the wizard, the reminders
will still sound.
RESOLUTION
If you do not want to have reminders activated by the Data Link Watch, you
can clear the reminder option AND set the time interval to 0 minutes.
-or-
You can keep the option selected AND change the time interval to 0 minutes.
MORE INFORMATION
The reminder option in the wizard is independent of the reminder you set in
the Outlook appointment.
For example, if you create an appointment in Outlook and set the reminder
to sound 15 minutes beforehand, the reminder may not sound on the watch.
You must explicitly set the reminder in the wizard by selecting the
reminder option and setting a time interval greater than 0 minutes.
However, if you clear the reminder option in the wizard, the watch will
activate a reminder based on the time interval set in the reminder option.
If the wizard has the reminder option set for 15 minutes beforehand and you
clear the option, the watch will still activate the reminder 15 minutes
beforehand.
