in Outlook 2003, is there any way to change the reminders for appointments
from 15 mins to 2 weeks for a group of appointments, not individually. I
imported the appointments from an excel sheet but the reminders are set to
15 mins. i need them to be 2 weeks.

Any suggestions?

Sure can. Add the Remind beforehand field to the view. Change one event to
use the desired period then group by the Remind beforehand field. Drag the
others to the correct group.

1. Turn off the reading pane so you have a single line view.
2. Right click on the row of field names and choose Field Chooser
3. Find the remind beforehand field (look in Date fields)
4. drag it to the row of field names.
5. right click on it and choose group by this field
6. select the items that need changed and drag to the correct group.
