OL2K3:
How do I change the default calendar entry form so that the "All day
event" option is not checked by default?
Thanks,

Are you using a user defined form? I may using a german version of
Outlook, but the "All day event" is not checked by default.
Maybe this has been changed with an update so I would recommend to check
if your Outlook is up to date:

If you double click in an empty area of the calendar, the default form that appears is for an all-day event and cannot have the 18 hour reminder unchecked by default.
If you select another method for bringing up a new appointment item, it will not show as an all day event unless you specify that is what you wish.

When you double-click a date in, say, the Week or Month view (where there is
no time scale), by default the event will be all day. If you double-click
in a view with a time scale (i.e., Day or Work Week), the event will be an
all-day event if you click in the gray area to the top and will be one time
scale division long if you click within the time scale.

Milly, Brian, that's the problem. I was double-clicking in the month
view.
I'll just have to get used to using another method.

My preferred method to bring up a new appointment item is Shift+Ctrl+A in any folder - or Ctrl+N when in Calendar view. Much easier for a keyboarder and saves headaches as well.
