I have a fairly large task database and tend to assign most tasks a reminder date and time. Mostly my PPC is in its cradle, so I frequently get reminders on both PPC and PC. These are separated by anything from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. So I sometimes find myself *guessing* what action I took a minute or so earlier. Did I use Snooze? For how long? Or Dismiss? And always wondering whether it matters if I get it wrong...

One of these days maybe I'll study the consequences methodically. But meanwhile, what do others do to manage PC v PPC reminders please?

I have just about the same problem and no solution. Waayy toooo much clicking to snooze multiple reminders on the PocketPC. Is there a solution out there??

I posted same query to Brighthand forum, and had suggestion to change this in PC Outlook: tools>options>other tab>advanced options>reminder options uncheck "display the reminder".

I've duly changed it here. Although I haven't thought through all the
implications. For example, suppose I suddenly remember a task I have
to do later today. I key it into Outlook on my PC at one of the
relatively rare times my PPC is not cradled. Until I do cradle it, I'm
not going to get reminded.

Saw your post. Issue is the number of individual reminders on PPC. On PC you can select multiple reminders to snooze and on PPC it must be 1 at a time. Very tedious!!
