No matter what I set the reminder time to in toolsoptionscalender
when I try to add a calender item it always defaults to 18 hours
unless I untick the reminder option altogether.

Also is there way to stop new calender items defaulting to
'all day event'? This is very frustrating.

Thank you,
AndyPandy

All-day events will always have a default reminder time of 18 hours. That's
nt modifiable. You will always get an all-day event when you double-click the
calendar in a view that does not show the time scale. If you were to
double-click the calendar in a view that shows the time scale (the Day view or
the Week view) or, instead of double-clicking the calendar date, click the New
button instead, you would get a timed event with a default reminder time that
matches the default reminder time you specified on ToolsOptons.

This works in 2003, so you could probably add a shortcut to the 2007
Quick Access toolbar as well:

I added a icon to the toolbar for "New Meeting Request". When I click
that (or shortcut ctrl+shift+Q), it gives me the meeting dialog
without all day event. This works even if I am in month view.

Brian,
Please request MS to change the default 18hrs in 12 hrs. Because this
little change results in a midday reminder iso early morning at 6.
And this will be a great help.

As I said to you by private email, if I can, I will, but my path to Microsoft
developers is not much more direct that what you might have. Personally, I'd
love to be able to control the default reminder time for all-day events.
