To automate it, you could try building a script in notes_.102 to find items
to be reminded of or due today, print a report on it etc. Then call this
script as a subscript from the open script.
It would be something like this:
Go to Layout [Notes Data Entry]
Enter Find Mode
Set Field [Remind Date, Status(CurrentDate)]
Set Field [Assigned To, Status(CurrentUserName)]
New Record/Request
Set Field [Due Date, Status(CurrentDate)]
Set Field [Assigned To, Status(CurrentUserName)]
Perform Find
Then do whatever you want with that found set.
This will only work if each client copy of FMP has the correct user name set
in Application preferences.
