Appts w/ different default lengths
Good afternoon --
Is it possible to set up different kinds of appointments that take different lengths? For example, every time I want to schedule a haircut, it might be 15 minutes (I'm pretty bald). But every psychiatrist appointment might be 2 hours (go figure). Can I set up Outlook to remember that, for perhaps a dozen different kinds of things? TIA

Well, you can set up recurring appointments, is that what you want?
It's not very easy to set up an "appointment template" per se, though I suppose you could script it with AutoHotKey. (http://www.autohotkey.com) -- -Ben- Ben M.

Appts w/ different default lengths
Ben --
Not quite what I'm looking for. My wife works in an office where they use Outlook to schedule client services for each other. One kind of service takes routinely takes 2 hours, another routinely takes 30 minutes etc. They have an ongoing problem of the person scheduling not setting aside the right amount of time, and it messes up a lot of people's lives. So I'd like Outlook to remember that if they're scheduling someone for Service 1, it takes two hours. But if they're someone for Service 2 then it takes 30 minutes. Any way of doing that?

Not natively but I am not sure if a coding solution would work. You might
want to ask "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or look into code samples at http://www.outlookcode.com. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
