I don't think reminders are added to holidays by default. It should be easy,
though to display your calendar in the By Category vew, add a subgrouping of
"Reminder" by adding the "Reminder" field to the column header and grouping by
that field as well. Then select the holidays with reminders and drag the
selection to the group "Reminder: No".

I should have thought of that, thanks. Buuut...I'll be damned - I've been
getting holiday reminders anyway, the latest being one for Columbus Day,
yesterday. The holidays don't show any reminders either in the listview or
when I opened a few of them & looked for Reminder under Options.

Any ideas?

Do you have more than one appointment for the holiday? If you open it, is
an appointment set?

No, I have no appointments or anything set for the holiday. If I open the
day's schedule there is nothing at all, no appointments, tasks, things due,
etc.

I don't have any appointments set up for any holidays. The reminders are
about the holidays themselves. ("Tomorrow is Columbus Day" or words to that
effect)

(Not sure if these forum servers are running right since I posted a reply
several hours ago and that post hasn't shown up on the thread.)

Outlook doesn't produce reminders in that form, as far as I've ever seen.

Are you sure the remoner is coming from Outlook and not, say, something like
Google Calendars?

or the Live calendar (If using it) and windows messaging alert.

No, the reminders are not coming from another app - I just got another
Outlook reminder, this time for Halloween.

I had just cold booted the machine and Outlook was the only app I had
running. I do use Google Sidebar as a Startup item but I don't use any
"Gadgets" such as Google Calendars. Of course there are a few other Startup
items with Vista but my User list just has MSN Messenger and Media Player.

In this case, the notice was for 3 Reminders - two of them are overdue items
of mine and the third just says "Halloween". Halloween says it's due in 6
days. Why? Trust me, I didn't set this and if I open the "Halloween" item in
the Outlook Calendar is does not show a reminder as being set.

I took a screen print of this Reminder dialog box - if you'd like to see it
just tell me where/how to upload it.
