Reminder alarm doesn't work in additional calendar.

I set up a 2nd calendar in Outlook 2003. I have an original calendar for the
family that is listed as "Calendar". The 2nd Calendar I created was
automatically named "Calendar in Personal Folder". It is for my work. I
wanted to name it something more specific but couldn't figure out how to
change the name.

In the 2nd calendar I can enter in a reminder (alarm) for a calendar event.
However I get a message that says "The reminder for "event" will not appear
because item is not in your calendar or task list. So the alarm won't sound.
It does work on the primary calendar. Is there away around this??

Thanks.
 
I have the same problem. I have created a sub folder in my Tasks, and it
will not let me set a pop up reminder. I get the same problem as you. Have
you found a way around this?
I can't see the point in Outlook letting you set up additional folders that
are potentially useless!

Any help grateful.
 
Either keep all the tasks in your Tasks folder or get one of the reminder manager tools from http://www.slovaktech.com

I hope you can help. When I imported a pst file with my key information of
email, calendar and contacts into outlook on my new PC, it created a second
calendar folder named "calendar 2" which has the "the reminder alarm will not
appear because the item is not in your Calendar folder" error.

How could I merge my Calendar 2 with the orginal calendar provided by
outlook that is blank?

I only want one calendar file. - I was hoping if I could transfer (move) all
the appointments (there are many many appointments) from Calendar 2 into the
outlook provided original calendar,then I would be using the outlook primary
calendar and I would not have the "lack of alarm" problem.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts. ~Angela
 
Select all the entries in cal 2 and drag them into the calendar (use the By
Category View).

Delete Cal 2
