Calendar reminders in OutlookHi,
I've created a second calendar at work. The main calendar is for my routine daily/weekly/monthly appointments and meetings. The second calendar is for the milestones of my projects. It works great with the exception of reminders. The reminders don't seem to work with the secondary calendar. Is there a way to turn on reminders for the secondary calendar? And a second question. I have an Excel worksheet that I also use that holds all the dates of my projects (although it sounds like duplication of effort, they both really serve separate purposes). Is there a way to tie the dates in the Excel spreadsheet to the secondary calendar in Outlook? VBA? Third party program? Thanks for any help.

I use the colored labels for each calendar (separate tags though, of course). If I used one calendar, I would only get one set of labels still, correct?
