Change alarm options for individual appointments

[KMikaela]

I have now had a wm6 device for over a year, and really like to connectivity,
but while you can turn reminders on and off for specific appointments, you
can't change the reminder options themselves for the appointment. For
example, for Anniversaries, Birthdays and all other all day appoitments,
while I would like an on screen reminder, I don't want an audible alarm at
midnight on the day of the event. Is there a way to tweek the registry for
facilitate a change to all "All Day" appointments? Is this something that
will be addressed in Windows Mobile 7?

Many thanks.

The Events view should show you all-day events. If you add the Reminders
field to the column header and group by that field, you sould be able to
select all of the all day events and drag them to the "Reminders: No" group.

Thank you so much for your reply, but I would like to change the options in
Windows Mobile Outlook, not the desktop version. I've tried turning off the
sound in the desktop version, but the sound still plays on my phone. I would
like to see the "When the reminder is due play this sound" dialogue box in
Windows mobile, is this possible?

This isn't a Windows Mobile forum, it's an Outlook forum. There may be people
here who use Windows Mobile (i'm one), but it's out of scope. Frankly, I
doubt you can change Windows Mobile's behavior.
