Can't diable Reminder in Outlook 2003

N

NonTechie

I recently installed Windows 7, and then (had to) reinstalled Office 2003. In
the Calendar in Outlook, I tried to disable the reminder by clicking
Tools>Options>Other>Advanced Options>Reminder Options, per the Help menu. I
unchecked Play Reminder Sound and unchecked Display the Reminder. Then OK,
OK, OK. Yet when I schedule an appointment, the Reminder box is still
checked. I go back to where I thought I had disabled it and it was unchecked.
Yet, it doesn't seem to have any effect. I even closed Outlook and opened it
again, but to no avail. Can you help me?

Thanks, Diane. It worked. I love you MVPs.

Try Tools, Options, Default reminder checkbox on the Preferences tab to turn
them off on new items. The setting you changed keeps reminders already set
from firing.
