Editing events in outlook does not reset the alarm if you selected none for
default. If you set a different reminder, only toggling 'all day' checkbox
off and on will reset the reminder. Other edits will not.

I'm not sure how the pre will be better - if you are syncing with outlook
you'll have the same problem unless you can tell its sync software to drop
reminders.

This morning a reminder for an all-day event (a birthday) again woke up me
and my husband at 6 a.m. when the alarm went off on my phone. This happens
too often -- and it took me forever to figure out why I was getting waked
up
by alarms I dont' set at 6 a.m.

Who on earth would want an automatic reminder at 6 a.m. the previous day?
Why hasn't this been fixed? What's even more frustrating is that when you
go
out of your way to disable that inane default, the next time you edit
ANYTHING about the event, the awful 6 a.m. alarm automatically returns,
without you doing anything to set it.

I'm hoping the Palm Pre will be a better alternative to this Windows
nonsense.

I've been woken lots of time at 6 am by my Blackberry reminding me of an
all
day event starting the next day. Also it is very annoying that the
default
for all day events is Free. That makes no sense at all.

When you are creating the "all day event" you can change the reminder
at that
time or open the event later and change the reminder time but there is
not
global setting that can be changed for the the reminder default time
for all
day events.

There is no such setting. Many people have asked for one.

I have set normal calendar markings to alarm 15 minutes before the
actual
event but all day events are causing problems by alarming 18 hours
before.
I'd like to change them to remind just a couple hours before, not
18 hours,
but I couldn't find a setting which could change all day events
reminder
time, is it even possible? I'm using Office XP ja Outlook 2002 with
Windows
XP Pro.
