MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2006Chg time increments for appts (not just calendars) to 15 minutes
I have already changed the time increment in my calendar to 15 minutes (and restarted to make sure it "took"), but am still presented with only 30-minute increments when attempting to create a meeting request on the quarter hour (i.e., 1:15 or 1:45 PM). I cannot find the path to changing the meeting request time selections in the drop-down box to 15-minute increments to match my calendar increments. Would appreciate a "how to" or pointer on how to accomplish this seemingly simple task. How are you opening the form? If using the new button, its how outlook works. open one by clicking on the calendar to use your scale.

Replied "yes" because I saw 8:15 AM as the listing in the drop-down box when opening a meeting request from the Calendar, as you suggested. However, once I actually clicked on the drop-down box to select a time, none of the choices were actually in 15 minute increments. They still appear in 30 minute increments.

My understanding from another group is that the only way to have 15 minute increments is to type the tme in manually. I too, would like to be able to permanently change the drop down lists to reflect 15 mintue increments. Typing them manually is tedious and anyone creating a calendar program should be considering that appointments (even Dr. appointments) will frequently start and or end on the quarter hour.

Clicknig on months will give 30 min also. If you are unwilling to use the day view, then type the value in the field in '815' format - no need for the colon but you may need to use 815p format for appointments outside the normal working hours.

Hello Diane, Thank you for the suggestion but it still does not allow me to permanently change the drop down list to reflect all times with 15 minute increments. I don't make entries in that way and I would still have to manually enter the complete time if that is on the quarter hour rather than the half hour. If you hear about anything that will allow me to actually change the times for the start and end time drop down lists to include all quarter hours I would appreciate hearing about it. :-) Kimber > if you set outlook to use a 15 min time scale and open the form by double > clicking on a day (day view), it will give you 15 min increments. if you use [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > >> > > seemingly > >> > > simple task. I'm using Outlook 2003, XP Pro SP2. I have my calendar day view set to 15 minute increments and my system set to the 24 hour clock (aka military time). If I place my cursor at the hour or half hour increment on day view and double click, a new appointment window pops up. The Start Time and End Time drop down options are displayed in 30 minute intervals, not in 15 minute intervals as you suggest. If I deliberately place the cursor at 15 minutes or 45 minutes past the hour in day view and double click, I will at least get the start time I am looking for, but the drop down options for end time will still be in 30 minute intervals - in other words, I can't create a 45 minute appointment using the drop down boxes. I did discover one option: in day view, one can dag the upper or lower horizontal line of an appointment box in order to change the start and end times, but only within the set time intervals (5, 6, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). > if you set outlook to use a 15 min time scale and open the form by double > clicking on a day (day view), it will give you 15 min increments. if you use [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > >> > > seemingly > >> > > simple task. > I'm using Outlook 2003, XP Pro SP2.

What I do is highlight my range first, then click New. The start and end times are correctly filled in. SignatureBrian Tillman Brian: I hadn't tried that - it works!
