Coming from the "Do It For Me" Department, Lockergnomie Stefan Hogedal remains on the lookout for Outlook tricks. Did you know that Outlook 2000 will do dynamic reminders? It'll launch Web pages without blinking. Create a new appointment and click the Recurrence icon; in the Start list, select the time at which you wish the Web page to be accessed. Feel free to tweak its 'pattern' options, too. Be sure to place a checkmark in the 'This is an online meeting...' field. Next, choose to use 'NetShow Services.' Enter the designated URL (Web address) in the 'Event address' field; 'Automatically start Netshow with reminder' should then be turned on. The 'Reminder' time should be set at 0 (zero) minutes. Sit back and let Outlook launch your Favorites whenever you desire.
