Many things can cause problems with the Outlook reminders service, it's hard
to say. Bad profiles, some synch software, phases of the moon...

A comment...I have been having the same problem since applying one of the Windows updates (not sure which one). But I tried this and it worked!!! I found it best to simply copy the directions (outlook.exe /resetfolders /cleanreminders) and paste into the Run dialog. What a relief! But what caused this? |

Ok, I have a question regarding all of this. Is there a way to set up Office
so that reminders will pop-up, even when Outlook isn't running? If so how? I can't figure it out. Thanks, Nate |

No, Outlook must be running.

In that case, do you know of a way I can get Outlook to start, when windows
starts, but have it be minimized to the Application Tray, when it starts, just like MSN or Windows Messenger is capable of doing? |

There's no command line switch for that but it's an easy macro to write. You
could write a macro for that and put it in the Application_Startup() event handler in the ThisOutlookSession class module: Private Sub Application_Startup() Dim oExpl As Outlook.Explorer On Error Resume Next Set oExpl = Application.ActiveExplorer If Not oExpl Is Nothing Then oExpl.WindowState = olMinimized End If End Sub -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Nate" wrote in message ...

Tried the switches you suggested. Nada. My problem started when my profile
corrupted in an older version of Outlook. Profile was fixed, but reminders stopped working. My IT guy told me it would correct itself when he updated. He's a liar. Suggestions?

They used to work, but stopped recently, and none of the help desk folks here on Robins AFB can seem to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Hi there I have the same problem. I tried the clearreminder etc switches. After that I receive all my reminders but an error as well (as well as when I just simply run Outlook), and reminders don't come up any more again:-( The error I receive: "There was a problem reading one or more of your reminders. Some reminders may not appear. Cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment." I use Outlook 2003 and it's been a problem for a month. Any advice? Thanks!
