MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2008Modifying all day events reminder
I have set normal calendar markings to alarm 15 minutes before the actual event but all day events are causing problems by alarming 18 hours before. I'd like to change them to remind just a couple hours before, not 18 hours, but I couldn't find a setting which could change all day events reminder time, is it even possible? I'm using Office XP ja Outlook 2002 with Windows XP Pro. There is no such setting. Many people have asked for one.

When you are creating the "all day event" you can change the reminder at that time or open the event later and change the reminder time but there is not global setting that can be changed for the the reminder default time for all day events. > There is no such setting.

I've been woken lots of time at 6 am by my Blackberry reminding me of an all day event starting the next day. Also it is very annoying that the default for all day events is Free. That makes no sense at all. > When you are creating the "all day event" you can change the reminder at that > time or open the event later and change the reminder time but there is not [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > time, is it even possible?

How difficult is it to simply not set reminders on all day events? SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] How difficult would it be for MS to code into Options the ability to change this default which has been in all versions of Outlook I've used and still seems to be on 2007? One does not always remember to change these options when one is in a hurry and aren't systems supposed to be configurable our needs rather than the suppliers? > > Why does Microsoft not listen to it's customers and change the stupid > > option? > > How difficult is it to simply not set reminders on all day events? Tools, Options, UNcheck "Default reminder". > How difficult would it be for MS to code into Options the ability to change > this default which has been in all versions of Outlook I've used and still [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >>How difficult is it to simply not set reminders on all day events? But that means I have no reminder by default on any events which is not what I want. Not that giving users what thay want have ever been an MS priority. > Tools, Options, UNcheck "Default reminder". > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >> > >>How difficult is it to simply not set reminders on all day events? > But that means I have no reminder by default on any events which is > not what I want.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Then perhaps you may elect to request it in the next version, although that particular feature hasn't seemed to generate many requests. > But that means I have no reminder by default on any events which is not what > I want.
