In Outlook 2003, when an item is added to the calendar (eg. appointment)
that occurs in the past, the reminder flag is still set and the alarm
immediately goes off once the item is saved.

Under Outlook 2002, by default the reminder flag was not turned on for items
added to the calendar which were in the past.

Is there a setting that can be used in Outlook 2003 that will prevent the
reminder flag from being set for items that occur in the past?

Bill, thank you. I am aware of the dismiss all command although this does
not correct the original problem. There must be a setting in Outlook 2003
that prevents reminders from being set when adding new items to the calendar
that occur in the past. The way this should work is:

When adding future items to the calendar (events, appointments, etc.) the
reminder is turned on.
When adding past items to the calendar, the reminder flag is NOT turned on.

Any further ideas on this?
