Whoa!!! After I replied to you, above, I tried Outlook again, both on Win10 and Win11 machines. Now people search is working again, in its usual round about way (why would we need to 'press enter' to search when entering something in a search bar???). They had not been working for several...

thanks diane. the win11 outlook is ver 2410 (build 18129.20158 click to run) current channel win10 is the same. both are set to not update (as all of my software, except antivirus. Updates are done manually, towards end of month). the last couple of months, when I let them attempt to...

when using the 'search people' box to find contact, the box with 'press enter' comes up. When I press enter, the box disappears and name clears from search. I am finding this behavior on both the win10 and win11. I upgraded one computer to win11 on Monday, after which I synced the win10...

Success!! Changing the data file default fixed it. Sorry that I didn't think of this before, though I believe that I did try it without success. Maybe I tried changing to wrong folder? anyway, it work now. Thanks for sticking with this. jeffrey

screenshots of calendars from desktop, where macro works, and laptop, where macro doesn't work, (unless I check 'calendar-outlook') laptop, macro not working. unless I check "calendar-outlook' desktop, where macro works

did the disabling, re-enabling macro security, with OL restarts. no success. renamed macro file, pasted macro into thisoutlooksession, saved, restarted OL. again no success. However, however: as an experiment, I turned on Calendar-Outlook . macro worked when entering allday event into...

I added a space before the 'If Typeof" line. saved, restarted OL, tried adding an allday appt. no question , no lines are changing colors. I copied the macro text from the working desktop macro, pasted into the laptop macro window. restarted OL , still no question. something is...

Any settings that could be blocking the macro, or showing message about keeping reminder?

also, you may want to try adding reg keys to block Outlook New from installing, if you are comfortable with registry entries: https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/7000002-blocking-new-outlook-from-installing/

or, perhaps find a copy of office 2010, or 2016, which will likely be pretty cheap or free from someone that isn't using it anymore. Seems these are what Hornblower409 and Diane are using.

on laptop, using the code that creates a 'startup' msg when outlook starts, I get the startup msg at opening, but no msg/question about keeping the 18hr reminder, when I create a test all-day reminder. (though I do get the question on desktop when test reminder syncs ). very strange. glad to...

Putting the original "18 hr" code back from your page that discusses creating the macro, I find that it still doesn't work on laptop. but if I enter an all day event on laptop OL calendar, the reminder also, of course, appears on desktop OL calendar, with the question about removing the...

using the code sample above, when I open OL i get a message box saying "start up". curiously, I clicked the save icon after entering the code sample, and closed the macro window, as I did when entering the 18 hr sample. but this time, when restarting OL it asked if I wanted to save the...

Diane, Any ideas of a setting or reg entry to check ? btw: today I received an email, indicating a reply to this thread, "thank you for your Post We are really happy to Read it Post" from a user "aosproductseo" , which returns nothing in a member search. The "really happy" link went to...

I also know that the code is good, because I used it on a different computer. I have macro security set to none. I am very sure that I didn't sign anything, because I don't know how to do that. I just checked tools>digital signature>it says signed as:no certificate. I copied the code from...

only one calendar, the default OL calendar. Same calendar used on the desktop, where macro works fine. or, if it is somehow a different calendar on the laptop, I don't know where it comes from, and what distinguishes it. dates entered on one appear on the other. Both go through exchange.

i have been restarting Outlook. But after restarting Outlook, on laptop, it doesn't run when adding appt to calendar.

maybe I don't understand what you are indicating. I click in the startup part of script. no response. just places cursor where I click. double clicking highlights a whole word, as clicking usually does. iac, I am not so interested in running the script while editor is open as getting the...

when I click "run" , F5, a box comes up asking to macro name. I don't recall getting this response when setting up macro on desktop. Desktop worked fine right away. As far as I can tell everything is the same on both machines. Is there some setting to check that may be blocking the macro...

Thanks Diane for the macro to turn off 18hr reminder. It works great on my desktop, but I can't get it to work on laptop. Same version of installed OL24 on both systems. I am using the first 2 sections of code, to simply ask about turning off 18hr reminder. I did set macro settings to...
