Reminders

I use the shared calendar so my assistant can see it and as I understand it,
I cannot make that my default calendar. I use the default task list (in
Personal Folders) and when I enter a task and set a reminder with a category,
I get a message that the reminder will not work because the item is not in
the task or calendar folders. Consequently, I get no reminders. How do I
correct this to get reminders? Also I cannot sort by category in the Personal
Folders task list. How do I sort by category?
 
Are you using Exchange server?

Why is can't you share your default calendar?

even so, there is a utility you can use - look for reminder manager at

I am using the exchange server. I was told that you cannot share a default
calendar and give privileges to post appointments, etc. Is this true? If not,
please let me know how I can share my default calendar? Will this solve my
reminder issue or do I need to buy the add-in?

ps I figured out how to sort by category.

Are you using the Exchange mailbox as your default message store?
(Recommended all the time, required for sharing folders.) If you share the
calendar in the exchange mailbox, you won't need the addin.

You can either give the person delegate rights (tools options, delegate tab)
or give them appropriate permissions on the folder properties sheet - right
click on the folder, choose properties, then permissions tab - as you select
a role, the permissions they using the role will have checkboxes in them.

I am using the exchange mailbox for my calendar, but am not sure about the
Tasks. The reminders from my task list won't pop up like they did on Schedule
+. When I add a task I am getting a message that the reminder will not work
because the item is not in the task or calendar folders. Consequently, I get
no reminders. I need to figure out how to enable the pop up reminders. Thanks.
