Introduction
------------

This is a Reminder Action Database designed to sit at the bottom of your Desktop.  As this database was only designed as part of Learning and Devlopment, it has not been developed to market standards.  The functions included allow the user to Schedule Emails, Document access and Call back times.  It is designed to sit minimized at the bottom of your Desktop and Pop-Up on Reminder Warnings.  There are two types of Warning Actions :

        1. Every 2:30hrs for Attention Span and Stress Combat
        2. On scheduled ReminderActions.

I have changed this database so that more Reminders can be used and reused or deleted.  The memory usage has stepped up 4 times as much to achieve this, so more development and testing is sure to follow.


Usage
-----

As this uses the VB extensively for Timer Actions, the following Programes will affect Reminder Performance :

        - Microsoft Outlook(Express)
        - Bluent's Screen Recorder
 
Reminder Actions may be delayed when using these programes with steps taken within the design to ensure high efficiencey levels (given designer knowledge).



Procedure
---------

Number of Messages in Inbox :
Click Here to See a list of the Subject Lines from mail received in your Outlook Inbox.

Receive Mail :
Click here to initiate Outlook as a background Application,  If you set Outlook to 'Automatically dial when checking for new messages'.  The Timer will run for 5mins 55secs and then close the background Application.  I have given this Time limit to allow for users with either Slower Connections or Larger volumes of Mail.

Get Contacts from Outlook :
Click here to append all contacts from your Contacts Folder in Outlook, please note this will initiate Mail receiving if the above condition has been met.  The Timer for keeping Outlook in the background, will be reset if it is already running.  You should make sure that the Contacts in Outlook have The First, Last and Company Name filled in.  Updating has been set not to Duplicate Records.

Outlook Mail Receive Settings :
Click here to automate Outlool to Open on your selected time schedule, you may find it better to close the Outlook Timer after 1 minute as it usually takes the fax service that long to load !



Time :
To easily update delete selection and move Out then back into to field, this gives 15mins as the format is a must.

Contacts :
Any entry is acceptable with the aid of the drop down list giving Company Contacts.

Subject :
All entrys accepted with updated drop down list.

Closed :
After updating you will continually be taken to the most Urgent Reminder, to stop this simply change the Time or Click  on 'Closed'.
