The answer is yes. You can choose any sound, and you can attach all kinds of alarms and prior warnings you want, to any task or appointment item. If you want to get fancy, you can even put different sounds on different alarms. It allows you to spawn programs as well, so it has quite a few tricks.
What I love about the program is that it allows you to filter your database on any parameter that it contains. Let's say you attach a new user-defined field called "Customer Type", and assign "Casual Prospect", "Serious Prospect", "Needs SERVICE NOW", "Referral", etc. You can then tell the system to show you only those customers that are "Serious Prospect". Similarly, on tasks you can sort by any field, filter on any field, etc., etc., etc.
Now, since you're also the project manager, you can set up a file in Ecco for Projects, and each "Project" becomes a line entry in that file. Tasks that you need to do for that project can be entered as sub-items, in an outline form. Each of these can also be crosslinked to your calendar/agenda, and to the customer file in the phonebook. I don't know of too many programs that give you that kind of flexibility.

Paul, before I download and install it, does it beep to remind you of appointments? Thanks for the info!
