From: Andrew Baylis Andrew on 4 Mar 2010 00:39 I use my Outlook calendar to manage appointments on the road. Is tehre any way to record the appointment time as, say, 10:30 am, but leave a time buffer of 30 mins travel so that another appointment canot be put any closer than this buffer (i.e. finish by 10am)
From: Bob I on 4 Mar 2010 08:28 You could use 30 minute "travel appointments" if you don't want to extend the actual appointment by 1/2 hour.

only by making the appointments manually or using an addin. I don't recommend making the appointments longer, make separate appointments for travel time instead, so you can remove them if a closer appointment comes up. See http://www.instyler.com/outlooktravel/ for an addin. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM How many email accounts are in your main Outlook profile? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=36602 "Andrew Baylis" <Andrew Baylis(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D8400A32-8C0A-494E-A8E8-8091AC1EA9B2(a)microsoft.com... > I use my Outlook calendar to manage appointments on the road.
