Hi, when I try to add an appointment to my Outlook calander I get the
message that "The reminder for "Eye Appt" will not appear because the item
is not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK?", with a yes and no
button. But Im confused, It is in my calandar, I just tried to enter it but
this error comes up.

Help,

Gordy
 
If it's not the default Calendar folder, reminders won't work on items
stored there. Reminders will only fire from the Inbox, Calendar,
Contacts, and Tasks folders in your default mail store (the set of
folders where your mail is delivered). You didn't mention your Outlook
version but you might possibly be able to use the Extended Reminders
add-in to add the reminders functionality to a secondary Calendar folder
(as long as it's in the default mail store). Details and applicable
Outlook versions here:

Thankx for the input, I realized that I was opening my "Archived" calendar
and trying to set an appt and add a reminder to it. Duh!
 
Ahh well, it happens to the best of us, and the rest of us too ;-)
Glad you figured it out.
