QUESTION POSED ON: 27 September 2005
I have Exchange public folders working. I had contacts and calendar working on it. The only problem is the reminder on the calendar. How can I put the calendar to notify each user, or selected users, when any task or calendar is expired? Is there a way to set the public folder on the calendar as my default calendar in Outlook?

Change the startup folder under the general settings. Go to Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced, and browse for the calendar that you want to display. When you open Outlook, the calendar will open by default and remind users of their tasks. Only the default calendar will send automatic reminders.

MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS ASK THE EXPERT Q&A:

You can't set a public folder as a start-up folder. Outlook (and I checked 2002 and 2003) will only let you browse to your own mailbox folders or personal folders.
—Rachel M.

******************************************

You cannot set up a public folder as a start-up, but you should be able to browse public folders if you have the correct permissions.
