Outlook 2000 calendar - All day events

[mquinn0908]

Is there any way to set outlook up where when you create a new calendar entry it does not automatically have the all day event checked?

Our problem is that we have a calendar that a few people share and a couple of the users are not remembering to uncheck all day event.

This is not a big deal but it would be nice if we could turn this off permanently and only check the box when needed.

well, I tried to recreate what you said and this is what I found out:
double clicking in the day itself starts a new appointment set to all day.
but if you use File, New, Appointment(aka Ctrl+ N) OR while in the calendar view the icon below File(looks like a calendar icon), it will create a new appointment but with a present duration of 30 minutes, mine starts at 8:30 - 9:00am (default settings)
