New to Outlook

[Nancy N.]

I just got Outlook 2003 and am wondering if it's possible to somehow link
reminders on my Calendar to the Contact it is reminding me about?

I know how to set a flag to remind me of something at a given time but would
also like to see that "event" on my Calendar.

Is that possible? I just can't figure out how. Thanks.

I don't think there's any way to do that, but instead of flagging the
contact, you might want to right-click and drag the contact to the Calendar
to create a new appointment based on the contact info. When you release the
mouse button you'll get a bunch of different options for how you want to
create the appointment. Then you can set a reminder on that appointment.
