I'm having a problem when I try to utilize reminders in a shared calender.
When I try to set a reminder in our company shared calender I get an error
message stating that "the reminder will not appear because the item is not in
your calender or your task folder, is this ok?". Does anyone have a
workaround for this?

Sure.  Buy something like this:

That warning is hard-coded into Outlook though and can't be disabled. So
although Reminder Manager would allow reminders in shared mailboxes that are
opened as part of the profile and not from the File, Open menu the warnings
would still appear.

If Microsoft Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 are truly a full blown
colabrating soultion, why doesn't the reminders work in a shared environment
without a third party program like "Reminder Manager?"  I just don't get it.

Maybe a great point but they don't, even with Outlook 2007.
