Re: Outlook 2007 Cancel reminders of birthdays and anniversaries

I believe it is a per Birthday setting. I just checked because I have a birthday Calendar and in properties it doesn't have an option to change all. If you find it, let us know!

Hi all,

How can you disable the calendar reminders for contacts' birthdays and
anniversaries? It keeps ringing (reminder) these events at 11:45pm the night
before. I still want them to show in the calendar, just not remind me of
them.

I still want it to ring/remind me of other events I add to the calendar,
just not on whole day events.

It's very annoying since I'm syncing with my Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone
(standard - no touchscreen) and my phone keeps rings on these reminders at
11:45pm the night before.

It seems to be an Outlook bug since even if you set the default reminder
time off, it doesn't seem to apply to birthdays and anniversaries.

If there isn't a way to turn it off, does anyone know of a quick way to edit
all these events at once and remove the reminder time?

Thanks,
ED
