OL 2000 calendaring error message - Reminder will not appear

[Keith-Earl]

I keep getting "The Reminder for "My appt" will not appear because the item
is not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK?"

I used to log onto an enterprise domain and never got this error. Now that
I work at my home office I simply log on to my PC's local domain and I get
this error any time I try to set a reminder.

Also, I get "Cannot update Public/Busy data" about every twenty minutes,
again, when I am logged on locally. Never got it when I was logged on to
the big domain.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is the appointment in question in your default Calendar folder -- that is,
the original Calendar folder (not a user-created one) in the same set of
Personal Folders or the same Exchange mailbox where your mail is delivered?
If not, you will get that error message, since reminders can only fire from
certain folders in your default mail store. You'd need a third party add-in
to get around this -- see www.slovaktech.com.

As for the other error, try starting Outlook once with the /CleanFreeBusy
switch. If you need help using Outlook command line switches, look here:

Thanks, Jocelyn.

Isn't there simply a way to tell Outlook to use the OTHER Calendar for it's
default?

No. The default Calendar is always the original Calendar folder in the
default mail store.

But I have to ask: <<<The default Calendar is always the original Calendar
folder in the

default mail store>>>

Is there a way to change the "default mail store"?

I would gladly do that if I can fix my installation.

 

[Jocelyn Fiorello [MVP - Outlook]]

That depends...are you a standalone user or are you connecting to an
Exchange server?
