I am trying to setup another shared calendar that will be used by two
people. Each will be able to add appointments and have alerts set.

When I set up the new calendar (let's called it "Critical Calendar"), I
then go to add a new appointment for a specific date.

When I choose the alert setting (e.g. 1 day), and then click "Save and
Close", I get the following error message:

"The reminder for [Reminder Name] will not appear because the item is not
in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK? [Yes] [No]"

I don't understand what it's saying. The calendar I created is another
calendar underneath the main calendar. Is this not possible the way I am
trying to do it?

I just need to have a second calendar that will allow for reminders and
alerts but it needs to be separate from the main calendar.
 
Only the folders that are created when Outlook is installed will have the
full functionality such as reminders and flags. Any created folders will
not. If these created folders are in the same store as the default folders
(same .pst or mailbox) then you can use Extended Reminders
(http://www.slovaktech.com/extendedreminders.html) to have the reminders
start functioning from the non-default folders.
