by Hey kids,
quick question, I wanna know if there is a way to share a calendar in outlook that will send out group reminders for scheduled meetings... I have it shared out here at work but I cant get everyone to have the reminders pop up for them... any suggestions?

for some unknown reason, I never get reminders in outlook for meetings. any idea?
My reminder service never "starts" because of some unknown problem with the way it's set up on our exchange server. I always see a message on the bottom of the screen that says something like "outlook could not start the reminder service..." but it disappears in a few seconds.
in outlook 2000, i have to have outlook always open for reminders to pop
this has changed in newer versions?
It would really kick butt if it did, but I doubt it.
I'm using 2003, and I always have it running.
silly question BUT - do you have the reminder box checked? and is your PC set to the right time?
Hey - that's probably why mine doesn't work. Our server keeps updating our computers to the wrong time.
the time is right. the reminder checkbox is checked .
Having it send out emails is one thing, but to actually share it I think you would need to have exchange server, could be wrong
hmmm well this would work as far as sending out invites for a specific meeting, but what im trying to accomplish is to get a specific calendar SHARED to a group of people then will notify everyone of meeting times...
I think reminders are specific to each person's calendar, so if you're trying to get a reminder to pop up on everyone's screen as they're looking at a shared calendar, you can't. We use shared calendars here in my office, and reminders don't pop up.
I mean, there might be some embedded setting that I don't know of, but I'm pretty sure the only reminder option you get, in the advanced options, are what kind of sound to play.
yes, i read up on this yesterday microsoft SAYS that it cant be done... ive tried a few different things but... im just gonna have to find a work around.
When you're creating the item, use the "invite attendees" option. The person will get an email telling them about the appointment then if they accept it, it'll go on their calendar. The reminder will not show up for them as you set it in the appointment, unfortunately. Reminders are specific to the computer they're created on.
they have to accept the scheduled invite to have it added to their calendars... have they done that?
i might be completely missing the question tho.
