MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / October 2007Reminders and Status
Is there a default setting so that when I accept an appointment from a co-worker, I do not accept the reminder and the busy status that they have already set? This is driving me crazy! SElect the option to edit before sending a response and remove the offending items.  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading. After furious head scratching, Richeee asked: | Is there a default setting so that when I accept an appointment from a | co-worker, I do not accept the reminder and the busy status that they | have already set? This is driving me crazy! Richeee - good question (it's one I'm looking for an answer to as well) My problem is that I have my assistant book appointments for me. Her Outlook is set to NOT generate reminders. When appointments are sent to my e-mail, they go into my calendar WITH a 15 minute reminder. My Outlook is configured with no reminders as the default. Since I sync my Outlook calendar with my smarthphone, these reminders propagate to the phone. So, I have the wonderful experience of a reminder going off at 11:45PM for an all day event. This is a case where both sending and receiving Outlooks are set to no reminder and yet Outlook assigns one. Clearly a BUG. Milly, with all due respect, your answer is both useless and obvious. Frankly, when I set NO REMINDERS on my Outlook, that should shield me from reminders from any source other than those set manually by me. Letting other people set reminders on my calendar makes no sense (and who knows, may even be a security risk if the reminder can be set to autorun a script). > SElect the option to edit before sending a response and remove the offending items. > > | Is there a default setting so that when I accept an appointment from a > | co-worker, I do not accept the reminder and the busy status that they > | have already set? This is driving me crazy! I agree, Jiri. Milly, there is no way to "edit" the reminder or busy status when "edit before sending". This just opens an Outlook email, not the calendar. Jiri is right: "...Frankly, when I set NO REMINDERS on my Outlook, that should shield me from reminders from any source other than those set manually by me. Letting other people set reminders on my calendar makes no sense (and who knows, may even be a security risk if the reminder can be set to autorun a script)..." I would carry this one step further and call this action (or inaction) just plain rude on Outlooks end! > Richeee - good question (it's one I'm looking for an answer to as well) > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > | co-worker, I do not accept the reminder and the busy status that they > > | have already set? This is driving me crazy! Unfortunately, this is still happening. No relief in sight! > I agree, Jiri. > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > > | co-worker, I do not accept the reminder and the busy status that they > > > | have already set?
