outlook reminder
Hi,
I have the outlook default reminders set up as 15 minutes in the outlook 2013 - option - calendar section. When I go into Calendar - right click and choose new appointment, in the Appointment ribbon, the reminders default is 15 minutes. But when I double click on the blank space on the calendar, the new event windows open, and the reminder time is None. How do I change it to 15 minutes?

Thanks BlueDevilFan. That's what I read from Microsoft support page too. That's the way they set it up so... I have to disappoint my friend for his request.
I'm using Exchange 2010 and Office 2013. From my friend experience, in outlook 2010 he just has to double click on the calendar and it set up as event for him with 15 minutes reminder.

I have both Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2010 installed. Outlook 2010 does not behave the way your friend described. It behaves exactly like I described with one exception. Double-clicking on the calendar when it's set to the Monthly view creates an event with a default 18 hour reminder.
Actually, BlueDevilFan, that is not accurate.
Let's be more specific here: The only time Outlook will NOT give a default reminder for an event is in version 2013 when you are in monthly view and double click OR if you double click at the top of the planner in day view. If you double click in monthly view in 2010 you DO get an 18 hour reminder
In Day, Week or Month view, right mouse click and choose new event and you will get an 18 hour reminder. Double click on a time slot in the Day or week planner and change it to an event and get a 15 minute reminder. Right mouse click in any view and choose an appointment and change it to an event and get a half day reminder.
The only thing to remember is that an event is marked as free, so one should verify availability
Hope that clarifies it

Hi, kfalandays.
"The only time Outlook will NOT give a default reminder for an event is in version 2013 when you are in monthly view and double click OR if you double click at the top of the planner in day view. If you double click in monthly view in 2010 you DO get an 18 hour reminder"
That's pretty close to what I said in my last comment (below) when I was speaking specifically about Outlook 2010. In my earlier post, I was thinking about Outlook 2013 but failed to limit what I said to that version. That made it sound like all versions of Outlook behave that way, which I agree is incorrect.

That should not happen. Make sure you have the latest sps and run a repair of Outlook. Also, tell us a little more...which version of Outlook are you using? Exchange or Pop3? Is this the main calendar or a shared calendar?
