What caught me out is the fact that you can have a forward repeat for dates but not for times, e.g. REM 22 Jan 2010 *1 MSG do this everyday whereas the timed reminder with a trepeat will stop at the specified time. Therefore, as you suggest below, I have to specify the end time, and work my way back. >so i think you want > >REM AT 12:00 +120 *30 MSG check fire In principle, this is what I want, but from 10:00 (am) to midnight. How do I express midnight? I tried 24:00 and 00:00 - neither work. I seem to remember that timed reminders can't span midnight. Maybe that's the problem. -- Best Regards, Tarlika Elisabeth Schmitz _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.whatexit.org/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans
