MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / October 2007annual repeating events
Can you please give me the step by step instructions on how to insert annual repeating events with a reminder that comes up on that day (say at 8am on the day rather than midnight). I really appreciate any assistance you can provide. Many thanks Donna File | New | Appointment Give it a name, etc... Type CONTROL + G (hold control and type G) you'll get a recurrence dialog Select Yearly recurrence OK The reminder will fire 15 minutes before the start time of the meeting (by default). Just set the start time of the appoinment to 8:15 AM. (if you want to change the 15 minutes, you can click Tools | Options in Outlook and change the default reminder time.) Last thing: if you make the appointment an all day event, the reminder will fire 18 hours before. You can change this to 0 minutes before, but then the reminder will fire at midnight. Hope this helps.

I set birthdays to 6.5d as that gives me reasonable notice! There's a Recurrance setting button in the toolbar for all versions of Outlook.

I understand the recurrence and changing of times, however I want to put in birthdays / anniversaries and for a reminder to come up at say 8am on the actual day of the birthday / anniversary. Is there any easy way of doing this??? Kind regards Donna > File | New | Appointment > Give it a name, etc...

So no, if you want an ll Day Event (birthday, anniversary etc) you'll need to have it remind you the day before (as I described in the earlier post that crossed over yours) or make it an appointment for 8am on the day (and not an All Day Event).
