We are using Outlook 2002. I have set up a shared calendar in public folders
and I want to add meetings appilcable to the entire company. This is
working. However, I also want a reminder to appear to all users before the
meeting. I do not want to send invites, I want the reminder to be generated
by the shared calendar to all users. I have added everyone in as Owner in
the permissions. When I try and set a reminder I get the error message: The
reminder for "meeting" will not appear because the item is not in your
Calendar or Tasks folder."

Help!
 
Outlook only fires reminders in your default mailbox in your default Inbox,
Calendar, Contacts and Tasks folders. In all other folders, including public
folders, items with reminders that are due will only turn red. You can
either copy the calendar items from the public folder to each user's mailbox
Calendar folder or you would have to use a 3rd party application to provide
the reminders directly from the public folder.

And there's nothing you can do about that warning message, even if you use a
3rd party application, it's hard coded into Outlook.
