Disable reminders in one calendar but not another?
 

In 2003, I was able to use a custom form to set a different reminder for my
personal calendar vs my work calendar. In 2007, there does not appear to be a
way to disable the reminer fopr alternate calendars, or even your main
calendar, without disabling reminders completely in Preferences. It is
ridiculous to get constant popups from my personal calendar, when i only need
reminders of work events. Is there a way to do this?

Here are the instructions I followed that didn't work:
To prevent reminders from appearing for appointments on your TLG (or other)
Calendar, follow these steps:

Open Outlook 2007:
1. Go to Tools Forms Design a Form
2. Select Appointment and press Enter
3. Select the All Fields tab
4. In the Select from drop down menu, select Frequently-used fields
5. In the Reminder field, enter No
You can also change other defaults here, such as Show Time As and Category
6. Click Save
7. Click Publish in the toolbar
8. Enter a name for your form and press Enter
9. In the Folder List, right-click the Calendar you wish to affect, and
select Properties.
10. On the General tab, look for the When posting to this folder, use drop
down menu
11. Select your form in the drop down menu

Open a new appointment in your TLG/other Calendar. The default appointment
appears with the settings you defined.

As a good alternative you can use another reminder program to keep
your work and personal reminders separated. I would recommend you Cute
Reminder which I use for quite a long time and I am happy with it
