Hey...

Can you recommend a decent program that can pop up reminders on screen to do an action...?

I want them, to say pop up every hour, between 5am and 6pm Monday to Friday telling me I should email a check sheet documents to my clients. If I can ad my own text in to say what it should be reminding me of, that would be great!

If you can recommend any, I'd be most grateful!

Thank you in advance...
 
You could just setup a reoccurring appointment in Outlook and it will popup on the screen.
 
Hey...

Thanks for your suggestion - but I'm using Novell Groupwise and not Outlook...

If you're using Windows, couldn't you just write yourself a text message using something like Notepad or even Word, and then use Start\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Scheduled Tasks to open the file at the desired time?
 
Microsoft Works also has pop-ups, though I've not used them much. There are also various free Organisers on offer; try Googling for them.

Or you could get yourself a fancy alarm-clock or simple PDA to do the job.

I use outlook, but my users use "Post-it Notes" it has alarms. I don't have Microsoft OneNote but i assume that would do it.
