How to create pop up tasks in the style of Outlook Web Access?

A familiar behavior seen in Outlook Web Access is mini-browser windows
that pop up telling the user a task is due for completion or an
appointment is coming up. I'm looking for ideas on how this is done. I
would assume the process is something like this...
1) A SQL call is generated every five minutes or so, saying "Select all
tasks owned by this user where due date is less 24 hours away."
2) Outlook Web Access then takes the results of the SQL call and
formats them into html and presents them in a javascript pop up window.

But I'd like more detail, particulary any ideas from anyone who may
have implemented a similar concept. Is there a module for sale that
does this? I'm designing with dot.Net - using VB and C#.
Thanks!

Hi Folk Some of my clients asked me to create "fancy emails" for them (aka html formatted emails).

I would like to have my application add administrative tasks to an Administrator's Outlook Task Folder. I know how to get the User group of the CurrentUser and think I can even code how to do the actual additions. A couple of questions: 1) How do I code it so that it only occurs once - the first time the administrator opens my app. I think I need code that checks if the tasks are already there in Outlook and then aborts if they are....

I am currently sharing my task list on an office server, so that all users can access, add and edit tasks (but not delete). Is there any way of preventing the same task being opened by more than one user at a time? We have had some instances of tasks being open on more than one machine - if it has been edited on one machine and saved, there is no way of updating the other (open) occurence of the task. I was wandering if this option was...

Hello--I'm using Outlook. When on "Tasks", my page is set up with "To do List" at the top. I've sorted 'my view' to contain what is important to me.

Below all those tasks is another row, "Due Date: Sept. 2, 2008" with all my tasks below that. Etc. Etc. My question is---is there a way to change the font or color on "Due...
