How can I add times to Appointments
Right now when you add something to the calendar it offers an array of times
when to be alerted/reminded of the event. I need some times other than what are listed. Is there a way to edit that list of times to add new ones? Running Office 2007 on Vista Home Premium. Thanks in advance.

How can I add times to Appointments
Just type in that field. The dropdown list only contains suggestions, not
limitations. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "drumz" wrote in message ...

How can I add times to Appointments
Sorry, I should have included the x-time before it starts. That is what I
want mainly. I cannot change those because it generates an error that it is an invalid time. "Roady [MVP]" wrote: Just type in that field.

How can I add times to Appointments
What exactly are you typing in there now?
You are talking about the Reminder field in the Ribbon on the Appointment tab, right? I don't get such an error even if I type "bla" in there; it just defaults back to "15 minutes" when I navigate away from that field. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "drumz" wrote in message ...

How can I add times to Appointments
Are you typing it in as full words - 23 minutes, 10 hours, 27 days? While
many date fields use time shortcuts, the reminder fields don't - they need it spelled out. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

How can I add times to Appointments
What I want to change is where it says x minutes before start. It has 15, 10,
5 and 0 minutes before start as the defaults. However, if I change any of those it says and this is taken from the error "The snooze time "35 minutes before start" is invalid. Enter a valid snooze time.". So all I did was change the number to produce the error. I would like a 35 minutes before start as well as 45, 1 hour and 2 hours. Is there a place in the registry where I can tweak them? Thanks for your help! "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: Are you typing it in as full words - 23 minutes, 10 hours, 27 days?

How can I add times to Appointments
you didn't mention you were doing the snooze times - that's different than
reminder times. 'before start' is limited to the selections offered. If the appointment is 1 hr away and you need a 35 min before start reminder, type 25 minutes then hit snooze. The times are hard coded - you can't hack the registry to change them. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
