Birthday field reminder
Default reminder times for appointments/events always correspond to the value
you have set in the "Start Time" field in Tools | Options | Preferences tab | Calendar Options | Calendar work week section. So, if you have the start time set to 8:00 AM, the default reminder time for new appointments/events will be 8:00 AM. -- Jocelyn Fiorello MVP - Outlook *** Messages sent to my e-mail address will NOT be answered -- please reply only to the newsgroup to preserve the message thread. *** "lrdupont" wrote: Is there a way to change the birthday reminder in Outlook 2003 that is added to my calendar by default?

Won't Outlook add Contact birthdays as all day events with default 18 hour reminders? -- Brian Tillman |

Birthdays in Outlook
Hi Jocelyn I have a similar challenge. When I add a birthday in Outlook 2007 under the Details then Birthday section it adds it as an all day event, with a default reminder of 15 minutes. So if someones birthday is 4 June, on the 3rd of June at 11.45pm I will be reminded. Is there a way to set a default reminder time of 12 hours for birthdays or have birthdays only remind you at 8am. Thanks Michael |

I believe the OP is saying that the birthday reminders are showing up at
midnight (not at 12 noon). At least that is a problem that I have. I am using Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync with Exchange Server 2003, and all my reminders are automatically synchronized with my phone. It is quite annoying to wake up to a beeping reminder at 11:45 pm (15 minutes before midnight) every day somebody has a birthday. I have set the "Start Time" field in Tools | Options | Preferences tab | Calendar Options | Calendar work week section, to 8:00 AM, but the birthday reminder still woke me up at 11:45 last night. It is quite frustrating. |

By default, all-day event reminders are set to "18 hours" and you can't change that. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
