Default Calendar Reminders not firing

For some reason there are a couple of users in my
organization who are entering items in their calendars
with reminders. When it comes time to be reminded, no
reminder is fired... any ideas?


thanks

Derek

They have probably turned off reminders for Calendar items. If they are
using the Outlok Web Client click on Options, go to the Reminder Options
section and check the "Display reminders for Calendar Items" checkbox.

If they are using Outlook2003, go to Tools - Options-Other-Advanced
Options-Reminder Options- Check the "Display teh Reminder" checkbox.

That help?

Tried to setup display reminder and found the box already
checked...

Does this individually affect the calendar they have open
or does it affect outlook as a whole?

Any other thoughts?

Are they using the default Calendar or a secondary one? Reminders will only
fire from the primary calendar in Outlook unless you use a 3rd party program
like the ones at www.slovaktech.com to extend the functionality to other
folders.

Well, Jocelyn, that answers my question... so is it possible to copy
everything in the personal calendar over to the default calendar, thereby
enabling the reminders to fire properly?
