Calendar problem...

[Izzy Mandelbaum]

I am trying to add a 2nd calendar to Outlook, but when ever I try to
add an appointment, I get the error message:
"The reminder for "(Appt name)" will not appear because the item is
not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK?"
Of course it is not ok, as it defeats the whole purpose of adding this
calendar!
I am running Outlook 2003 & do not have an Exchange server.
Somewhere I found a link to an add-in called "Extended Reminders" that
I tried & still get the same error message.
Any suggestions?

Well you get the error messag but with that add-in Outlook will still
provide you the reminder.
Another way to go would be to stick with a single Calendar and use
categories and views to filter out what you do and do not see just like you
would have with separate Calendars.
Any specific need to create this 2nd Calendar?

Well, after that message, no matter what I chose, the reminder doesn't
appear.
The reason for 2 calendars is one is for the computer's user & the second
one is for the company president.
How can I bring his calendar info into this existing one & keep it seperate
from secretary's calendar?

But there is no sharing involved? In your case I would recommend indeed 2
Calendars as they are for different persons and you'll need the add-in. If
you want a single Calendar you can assign the Category "President" to his
items and define your own views to hide or show the items in the President
Category. You can define your own views in View-> Arrange By-> Current
View-> Define Views...
