Set up a reminder for something you need to do

Selects the least amount of detail: a one line summary that shows the total
amount of the transactions due.  For example if your company has $500 worth of
bills to pay, the Reminders list represents the bills as follows:

Bills to pay -500.00

If you want the list to show more detail, select Show list
instead of Show summary.  The Reminders list then shows the
individual transactions below the summary entry, like this:

Removes the activity from the Reminder's list.  For example if your
company doesn't send out invoices, selecting "Don't remind
me" for "Overdue invoices" removes the entry for overdue
invoices from the list. 

To add an activity back to the list

Select either Show list or Show summary. 

For date-driven events, enter the number
of days in advance that you want QuickBooks
to add a reminder to the list. 

(Optional) If you want the Reminders window
to open every time you start QuickBooks,
click the My
Preferences tab and select the Show
Reminders when opening a company file checkbox.
