Then don't create an Event, which will always default to 18 hours - it has for every version of Outlook ever released. Create another appointment item and massage it to fit what you need.

I agree totally. The other options as a work around are valid but they
circumvent the basic issue. If calendar reminders are totally configurable,
why the lack of options for events? A simple default value, including
none, would suffice. Come on Microsoft ...

you can choose none, but it applies to all calendar items, both timed and
events.

I tried setting the default reminder to 0 minutes, there was no none
option, in Calendar preferences (Outlook 2007) but that only changed the time
for timed calendar items, not events. You seem to be saying that it would
affect both, is that right? If so, I am surprised that a change in time
affects only timed items if the time is other than 0 but both timed and
events if 0. An odd system or have I got the wrong end of the stick? I can
not see any way of changing the events reminder time at all!

We have found that it is not possible to set the reminder for all day events
to None when sending to other users.

If the sender sets the reminder of an all day event to None, and sends the
event to himself and other users, there is no reminder on the event sent to
himself, but there is ALWAYS a reminder for the other users even if they
have set their default reminder to none.

I have posted this before and am still unclear whether this is a problem
specific to us, or affects all Outlook/Exchange users.

I tried various options on an Outlook 2007/Exchange 2003 set up and the
recipient's default reminder time was always replaced with the sender's
selected time. So it might be just you!

Stablehand,

So it might be just you!

It usually is!

recipient's default reminder time was always replaced with the sender's
selected time

That is the same with us, except when the event reminder is set to None.

Adrian.

You can't set the reminder time to "None". You can only disable the
reminder or set it to a value (zero or higher) if enabled. There is no
"none" choice. If the default reminder is enabled, no matter what time you
choose (even zero), all-day events will have an 18 hour reminder.
