Default 18-hour notifications

Hi,

I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on this for me.

Our assistant controller of our company uses her Outlook calendar to set up
an "event" to remind her of things each day that she cannot forget to do.

Her default setting is set to give her the notification 15 minutes prior to
the event (on the Outlook "Tools" - "Options" window) and for some reason -
unless she remembers to manually change it - she gets the notifications 18
hours prior to the event.

Needless to say - the notification isn't helpful a day ahead of time.

I've gone through her settings - and I just can't see where/why it's
defaulting to 18-hours.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Jo

I think that's the as-of-now unchangeable default for events as opposed to
appointments

Has she considered using Tasks for "things she has to do" that's what Tasks
are for.
