How can I change the default meeting time when creating a meeting

[Douger]

How can I change the default meeting time displayed when creating a new
meeting request? When I generate a meeting request, the start time default is
12:00 AM even though the calender is set from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I would
like it to be 8:00 AM.

When you double-click a view of the calendar what does not have a time scale
in it, the item that opens is an all-day event, which will run from 12 AM to
12 AM. You must be in a view that shows the time scale (i.e., Day or Work
Week) in order to permit double-clicking to give you a start time.

I don't quite follow your response. I am generating a new meeting request by
selecting File -> New -> Meeting Request. When the meeting request opens, the
'Start Time' displayed is 12:00 AM, no matter when I attempt to do this.

Perhaps another clue to my problem, when I attempt to change the time block
displayed (Tools -> Options -> Calendar Options) 'Start time' from 12:00 AM
to 8:00 AM, left click OK, left click (Options) OK, leave the calendar and
return, the time block displayed for the day still starts at 12:00 AM.

What if you pre-select the meeting time in the calendar first by
highlighting the area where you weant the meeting to be created?

Perhaps another clue to my problem, when I attempt to change the time
block displayed (Tools -> Options -> Calendar Options) 'Start time'
from 12:00 AM to 8:00 AM, left click OK, left click (Options) OK,
leave the calendar and return, the time block displayed for the day
still starts at 12:00 AM.

Does it recolor the view so that the non-working time is slightly darker
than the working time?
