Notes
-----
 
Microsoft Money uses the computer's system time and date as the
current date when calculating reminders. For more information about how
to check your system time and date in Windows, see your Windows printed
documentation or online Help.
 
You cannot turn off the reminder, but you can set the reminder to zero
days in advance so that it will only remind you on the day that the
transaction is due.
