As I wish to remind the receipients of my email of my meetings 15 minutes before the start of my meeting, I had set the default reminder to 15 mins. However there are emails that I do not wish to set the reminder, so in every email drafted I select "none" at the reminder setting of the outlook toolbar. Eventhough I do this, the receipient still get the reminder. Can you please advise how to resolve this problem? Thanks. Hi,

If I double-click on day to open an event then it IS an 'All day event' and therefore reminder time is 18 hrs.

Another loss for us and a win for them. Look at that code you guys created! Amazing! I would probably do the same thing, if I knew how. It's funny how we long to fix menial repetitve tasks even if it involves investing more time into work that would decrease it from there on out, although we may never gain back the lost time. But, then again, when we share it, victories are made. Anyways, I wanted so voice my Event Reminder Time default fix was at least somewhat resolved with the above by setting my quick-click flag default to Tomorrow, so changes the time to an actual work hour. So thanks. For another Microsoft wonder, try saving files to your desktop (in multiple columns) and then shift-selecting the most recently added files. My oh my, Micro$oft; you're so dreamy.

I am having issues with people forgeting the meeting and calling 5 minutes before to see if there still is a meeting. I just want them to get a notice the day before so they know to be there and not 15 minutes before like I get my reminder to show up. Most of the people that I invite are from outside the company.

Our service application now loads the service event in our Outlook calendar. Not such a bad thing, except that the reminder pop-ups are a nuisance. Is there a way to filter these events (they all have the unique service event number as the subject) in order to either set the reminder to 'none' or delete them altogether? I work in field service.

I know about changing the default reminder but I do not want to change reminders for ALL appointments....only these particular appointments. All these appointment subjects begin with a service event number. Is there any way to filter reminders for these particular appointments?
