In Calendar, Outlook won't let me set reminders to saved appointments because
"the item is not in your Calendar or Task folder."  What does this mean? How
do I get into the correct folder?
Same thing happens with Activites tab in Contacts because "Contacts folder
can't be found."
Thanks for any help.

It items are saved in a non-default folder, reminders will not fire.

I am having similar issues....I'm trying to create a shared calendar, or a
public calendar, so that several of us can get alarms about a certain class
of events.  I don't really want to share all of my personal calendar, so
sharing that is out.

What work around, or ideas are there to sharing an alarm-abled calendar with
several people?

Asked another way, How does one add or place a new calendar in a default
folder so reminders will file.  Or is therea way to make a new calendar a
default folder?

Or (least desirable)how does one automate the process of moving items added
to this shared calendar to a (the?) default folder.  This is undesirable
because I doubt if changes or deletions would be appropriately updated on
the moved items.  Further, I don't know what are, or what can be, or what
constitutes a default folder.

All help is appreciated.
