In Outlook 2003 you are able to change the reminder options on individual
appointments, including "all day" appointments.
When you click to add a new appointment, before you clear the "All day
event" check box, the default reminder for all day events is 18 hours. To
change it, just click the "Reminder" box and set it to whatever you want.
You do not have to clear the "All day event" check box.
The main difference between an "all day" appointment and an appointment with
start and end times is that the all day appointment does not default to the
reminder setting you have designated in Tools, Options, Preferences, Calendar
Options.

Of course. I said you can't change the _default_ value; i.e., the one
Outlook includes for a new event.
