I have a bar across the top of all my days for an All Day appointment. How
do I change the default to an unchecked box next to all day appointment?

don't create new appointments by clicking on the monthly calendar and they
will not be all day events.

Diane,
In Outlook 2007 at least, whether I go to the Week view or Month view and
click on a day to add an appointment, the window that opens has the square
for All Day already checked and the times are grayed out. I have to manually
uncheck the box each time. Is there a place to go in and change that?
Thanks.

If you don't see time divisions in the view, double-clicking will produce an
all-day event. If you can see time divisions in the view, double-clicking
will open an event whose length is the time division you clicked, with the
start and end time of the division. Clicking the New button in any calendar
view will produce a time event.

That works! I see what you mean! Thanks so much. I'll bear that in mind.
