In Outlook 2K if an appointment was created for say, yesterday, it didn't set
the reminder flag automatically - which is good as obviously the appointment
and reminder time has passed.
However, with Outlook 2K3 when said appointment is created O2K3 sets the
flag, and when you finish typing reminds you that the appointment is overdue.
So far the only way I can stop this is to turn off automatic reminders for
*ALL* created appointments which rather defeats the purpose.
Can anyone suggest something that I'm missing?

Are you talking about using code or in the user interface? This is a
programming group you know.

In the UI you can just uncheck the reminder checkbox before you close the
appointment. If you are using code you can use the
AppointmentItem.ReminderSet Boolean property. Just set it False before you
save the item.
