How do I make a new tasks remind me at 10am, it only gives you a date, no time, and it reminds me whenever it wants on that day.

Use one of your four alarm clock settings to do this. It can display a custom text message as part of the alarm.

I found four alarm clock settings under Settings, clock, with SMTWTFS 6.00AM. Now what? TIA

Tap on the day of the week you want the alarm to occur. Tap on more than one day ... they are cumulative. Tap on all of them if you want. They get highlighted when selected, and when you tap again, deselected.
Tap on the time indication under the bell icon ... the time selector page opens. Set the desired time and tap OK.
Tap on the bell icon, and select the alarm tone you want and any other options. Tap OK.
Tap on the description text beside the enabling check box, and enter your custom text.
When you're done, make sure the check box is checked.

Thanks, but I want to use tasks to remind me to pickup milk once at 6.23pm on 3/11/03. This Alarm setup will go off everyday. TIA

I understand exactly what you want! In the 'new' menu at the bottom of the screen I'd love to have a 'reminder' option. This would add a calendar note and alarm at a certain time on that date.... It's not an appointment, people are not invited, it does not go to and from... It just beeps at me at the correct time and displays a message telling me to do something.

better still....
get yourself a copy of agenda fusion which has alarmed reminders as well as everything else you could need as a PIM
it's fast and efficient and maybe more than what you need but i find it absolutely invaluable.
also, when i bought mine at the weekend it was only $4.95 if you visit the company website (instead of $19 if you buy from pocket gear etc etc)

Whatchutalkinabout ??? US$4.95?? The website has it up for US$29.95 (that would be about CDN$45)...way too rich for my blood. I'd like better PIM (ala PalmOS), but not at that price...

i must have been lucky.
i know there was an end date to the offer but i bagged the full pocket pc version and the desktop software for $4.95!!
sorry you missed it.
