I'm going out of my mind here. I have a really simple rule that checks for

meeting requests as they arrive. If they have no reminder set, it's supposed

to set it. Seems simple enough. I even put a msgbox in for the subject to

ensure it actuallly fires. What am I missing, the reminder does not get set.

Sub SetReminder(Item As MeetingItem)

If ReminderSet = False Then

msgbox item.subject

Item.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15

Item.ReminderSet = True

Item.Save

End If

Set Item = Nothing

End Sub
 
If Item.ReminderSet = False Then

Sorry slight modification to that code, I should have copied and pasted.

Still have the issue.

Sub SetReminder(Item As MeetingItem)

If item.ReminderSet = False Then

msgbox item.subject

Item.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15

Item.ReminderSet = True

Item.Save

End If

End Sub

Have you tried setting the reminder on the appointment?

Dim appt As Outlook.AppointmentItem

If Item.ReminderSet = False Then

MsgBox Item.Subject

Set appt = Item.GetAssociatedAppointment

With appt

> ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15

> ReminderSet = True

> Save

End With

End If

And if that doesn't work, maybe the solution is to use not a "run a script"

rule but code to monitor the Calendar folder for new items using the

Items.ItemAdd event.
