Hi,

I'm having some problems with my Outlook 2013 calender.

I very often use the calender to book meetings and such. I always use the Monthly view to get a great overview.

I've always double clicked on a day to get the Event window to pop up so I can book my meeting. And when I do I don't get the automatic reminder that I've set it to be. This works on all other views except the Monthly View for some reason.

The only way I can get the automatic reminder to be there is if I right click on a day and choose "New Appointment"

Anyone having the same problem? Some help would be much appreciated!

Thank you in advance

Hi,

As far as I can tell based on the research and tests, I can confirm this is how Outlook 2013 works in this scenario, that in the Month View when we double clicking to create a new appointment, there is no reminder.

But there is a simple workaround, instead of double clicking, we can right click on the block and choose to create an appointment. The reminder will be turned on following the default.

For more information about this topic, we can refer to this article:

Thank you for the reply and the link.

I can also confirm that this is how a bug works in Outlook 2013.

My Outlook isn't in english right now so I don't know exactly what everything is called in english. But if I translate it and doubleclick on monthly view I get something called "Event" and if I doubleclick on any other views I get "Appointments" and on appointments i also get my reminder set.

So basicly I don't get my reminders on the "Event" when I use monthly view. BUT when I use any other view and open a "Event" by for example right clicking I will then get the reminder set.

No matter how I look at this it's no logic in this at all.
