How to set reminders

[Guest]

I need to know how to set reminders for myself and others without causing a
conflict with the other attendees schedule. I tried to open a new calendar
and task, but there are problems.

The first problem is: (Task)
Task is designed only to assign a task to someone else, it isn't designed to
share a task between yourself and others in a group. (which is what I am
looking for)

Second: (CAlendar)
Calendar doesn't set reminders for you if you open another calendar.

What I am trying to do is set reminders for my department including me of
upcoming events. I do not want to effect their current schedule, so I need
to find another way. One co-worker said, when I set reminders for her it
interfers with her current schedule and it doesn't pop up what is supposed to
pop up.

Hi Goofy213,

you could share your task folder in Exchange like your calendar with other
uusers. You could also create a "Public Task" folder in the the Public
Folder in Exchange. If you insert the column "Organisation" in the shared
task folder you will see "who" created this task.

Reminders are only supported in the default Outlook/Exchange folders not in
public or any other additional folder.

If you need a reminder in an additional folder, you will need additional 3rd
party tools. Hav a look for a list of 3rd party reminder tools on this site:
