Hi - I'm running a custom appointment form in Outlook 2007. I'm using the
'Start' and 'End' date/time fields as well as the 'All Day Event' box from
the list of standard fields. Only problem is that I want the 'All Day Event'
box to default to no (unchecked) and it always comes up yes (checked). I've
set the initial value to 'No', 'False', blank, and I've checked the formats
of the box and the date/time fields. Regardless of the changes I make, after
I publish it to the folder (shared) and open a new item, the box is still
checked. Am I missing something really simple? Thanks in advance.

One other thing I just noticed, when I enter a new item in Day or Week view,
the 'All Day Event' box starts out unchecked. But when I enter a new item in
Month view, it starts out checked. Is that by design? Thanks.

Yes, I think that's all by design. The appointment form is intended to be
used for both hourly appointments and all-day events. You can't force it to
be one or the other. Outlook makes a "best guess" of which you want,
depending on the context.
