2002

You're using Outlook 2002 and expect anything in its feature set to
change? Mainstream support ended back in 2006. That means no program
changes. Security updates will continue until the end of extended
support sometime in 2011.

No matter what default is selected, someone is going to complain that
they want some other value.

EXACTLY! EXACTLY! This is the whole point I am making. You CAN
make everyone happy by allowing them to CHOOSE their own default that
works with their schedule. It's just a matter of adding another
combobox in the options.

No, it isn't. If one default can be user configurable then why not
EVERY default? Like I said, there are LOTS of defaults. Every field
or setting in the calendar event when creating it has a default. I
counted at least 22 items with a default value.

Have you tried Duncan's suggestion of creating a template form and
using that when you create new calendar events? That seems to give you
all the tweaking you could possibly want. I haven't done this. Create
a new event, set up all the fields with whatever default you want, and
then use File -> Save As to save it as a template (.oft file).
Thereafter you'll use File -> New -> Choose Form to open that template
(there might be an easier way to at the template; since I don't use
them, I don't know any shortcuts for using them).

It is possible that a later version of Outlook did make some changes.

They haven't yet.

You have a copy of OL2007 to check? You said you were still back on
OL2002 (like me).
