Reminders don't dismiss when calendar item moved to the future
I'm using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Pro. Office 2003 SP3 is installed.
Normally when a calendar reminder pops up in Outlook, if I double-click the appointment in the Reminders popup to open the Appointment and I change the date to a date in the future, then close and save it, the reminder is automatically dismissed (disappears from the Reminders popup). But for a couple of months the reminder does not dismiss and I have to click the dismiss button to remove it from the Reminders window. Does anyone know of a fix for this behavior? Thanks, Don |

Use the /cleanreminders switch. Close Outlook, click the Windows Start
button, click Run, and type in the box "outlook.exe /cleanreminders" (without the quotes). -- Jocelyn Fiorello *** Messages sent to my e-mail address will NOT be answered -- please reply only to the newsgroup to preserve the message thread. *** "Don Anderson" wrote: I'm using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Pro.

Try the /cleanfreebusy switch next.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas...if you don't get any more replies in this thread,
you can make a new post and make sure you mention that you've already tried those three switches. -- Jocelyn Fiorello *** Messages sent to my e-mail address will NOT be answered -- please reply only to the newsgroup to preserve the message thread. *** "Don Anderson" wrote: Sorry, that didn't work either. -Don "Jocelyn Fiorello" wrote: Last try: the /resetfolders switch. -- Jocelyn Fiorello *** Messages sent to my e-mail address will NOT be answered -- please reply only to the newsgroup to preserve the message thread. *** "Don Anderson" wrote: Sorry, that didn't fix it.
