I had two calendars but only needed #2. Reminders for #2 would not
work (error msg: The reminder for ----- will not appear because the
item is not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK?). Copied
all information from #2 to #1. Reminders work now but I cannot get
default calendar to synchronize with my hotmail account like they did
with calendar #2. Help is greatly appreciated!

Unless you're using Outlook Live and a Hotmail Premium account, I don't
think Outlook will do what you want without third-party tools, if they exist
at all.
