You can receive Item_PropertyChange only if you have an object variable set to that item. But as I understand you know you won't receive any events. Item_PropertyChange or ItemChange fire if a property of an item has been changed. In your case not an item property changes but the system time. So, what you have to do is write a code that runs once a day and checks all the tasks in the folder. If an overdue item is found send the e-mail. If you want to avoid sending multiple e-mails for the same task you can add a userdefined field to the item and store a flag that the e-mails has been sent already. This sample demonstrates how you can send an e-mail every day at the same time. You can use it to run your code instead: http://www.vboffice.net/sample.html?mnu=2&pub=6&lang=en&smp=10&cmd=showitem Of course, Outlook must be running to execute the code. : Outlook Categories?
