Is there a way to change the default times in the drop down box when entering
an appointment in my calendar to include quarter hours. I have a number of
appointments that start on the quarter hour and last, for example, 45 minutes
or 1 hour and 15 minutes. I know I can do this manually, but I am looking to
find a way to use a drop down only.

how are you creating the appointments? if you use a day view with a 15 min
time span, it should work as you expect. Otherwise, no, you can't change it
in the selector - typing it in the form of 1.45p is faster than using the
time selector.

Diane,

Thanks for your reply. I am entering appointments in day view by clicking
new. The untitled appointment box pops up with Start time with date and
8:00AM in the drop down box, and with End Time with date and 8:30 AM in the
drop down box.

As far as my experiments have shown, 30 minutes is the minimum interval in
the drop-down. However, you should be able to highlight the desired range
and then click New. The start and end times should correspond to the
selection.
