newbie here .... i wanna be able to set a reminder (alarm?) if you will to remind me to call a company.....

[foodybat]

it's been over 8 years since i've used ACT (been using Daylite on a Mac).... and i'm just shaking off a bit of rust, so bare with me...

As i go through my 3k+ contacts.... as i call them, i wanna schedule a follow up call for each.....

i'm alittle confused about the Duration, Use Banner, ring/Alarm....

what i want.... is for me to schedule the call.... & then have an alarm or banner pop up when it's time to call that company.....

How can i do this...?    As i've tried it, the alarm/banner thing pops up wayyyyyy before my scheduled time.... or it doesn't come up at all....

Please help this new kid on the block get his mojo back!

Thanks!
