MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2007Birthday field reminder
Is there a way to change the birthday reminder in Outlook 2003 that is added to my calendar by default? I wanna that all birthday reminder start at 8:00am and not at 12:00pm, but I don't want to change um by one every time that I add a new contact. Default reminder times for appointments/events always correspond to the value you have set in the "Start Time" field in Tools | Options | Preferences tab | Calendar Options | Calendar work week section. So, if you have the start time set to 8:00 AM, the default reminder time for new appointments/events will be 8:00 AM.

Won't Outlook add Contact birthdays as all day events with default 18 hour reminders? SignatureBrian Tillman It should, yeah...but the OP is saying his are showing up with reminders at 12 noon, so I don't know what's going on. Maybe he will give us more info.

I believe the OP is saying that the birthday reminders are showing up at midnight (not at 12 noon). At least that is a problem that I have. I am using Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync with Exchange Server 2003, and all my reminders are automatically synchronized with my phone. It is quite annoying to wake up to a beeping reminder at 11:45 pm (15 minutes before midnight) every day somebody has a birthday. I have set the "Start Time" field in Tools | Options | Preferences tab | Calendar Options | Calendar work week section, to 8:00 AM, but the birthday reminder still woke me up at 11:45 last night. It is quite frustrating. > I believe the OP is saying that the birthday reminders are showing up > at midnight (not at 12 noon). At least that is a problem that I have.

By default, all-day event reminders are set to "18 hours" and you can't change that. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Birthdays in Outlook Hi Jocelyn I have a similar challenge. When I add a birthday in Outlook 2007 under the Details then Birthday section it adds it as an all day event, with a default reminder of 15 minutes. So if someones birthday is 4 June, on the 3rd of June at 11.45pm I will be reminded. Is there a way to set a default reminder time of 12 hours for birthdays or have birthdays only remind you at 8am. Thanks Michael
