Windows Calender....reminders

I'm having some difficulties with "reminders". Other posts suggest these
might be common problems...I wonder.

When I set a reminder for an appointment,,,eg. at two days...the calender
changes all remiders to "two days'. Can they not be set on a per appointment
basis?

"Reminders" don't pop-up on my screen when they are due?...only when I open
the calender....which I don't do every day. How can I get a reminder to
remind me???

Thanks,

bj

I'm not seeing either of these complaints. Reminders are settable for every
appointment, including different times; and mine pops up and reminds me when
something is scheduled if the calendar is closed. Has your calendar always
behaved so?

Well, even though I was not of direct help I'm glad I got you going in the
right direction anyway. :-)
