Outlook 2003 can't change time scale in calendar

[louise]

I have, I believed, followed the help instructions and
nevertheless, I am unable to change the default time
offerings of every half hour.

I am in the monthly calendar view, I right click anywhere
and go to other settings and I change the time scale to 15
minutes. I click ok. I close Outlook, reopen it, and go to
insert a new appointment. I uncheck the "all day" box and
the dropdown time scale still presents with every half hour.

If I go back to other settings, It has registered 15
minutes, but it has not changed the dropdown times that are
actually available when I go to enter an appointment.

Help?

TIA

Louise

I don't think that drop-down will show any intevals less than 1/2 hour.
However, a work-around is to highlight the time frame you want in the Day
view, then click New. The event will have the start and end times specified
by the selection.

the monthly calendar only uses 1/2 hour slots. use a day view with the scale
you prefer or change the duration of the appointments when you create them.

Thanks for the info. It would be really nice if Microsoft
Help and KB could be a little more accurate in their
instructions so that the user doesn't spend 1/2 hour trying
to figure out how to make it work - when it doesn't work!
