reminders won't clear
I sync my Blackberry with Outlook. Recently 3 calendar/task reminders
appeared in outlook and I cannot clear them from the reminder list... when i do try to clear them, i get an error message. The events don't appear in the calendar on either Outlook or my Blackberry, but the reminders won't go away. Any ideas? |

See if using the /cleanreminders command line switch helps. It's described

reminders won't clear
This isn't my thread, but it is also my problem. I run Vista and Outlook
2007. I read the referenced support article, tracked down my outlook.exe file, and my system, which shows me that file if I explore for it, says I have no access to it, even though I'm logged in as an administrator. My computer is not linked to a corporate server or Exchange. But even as a stand-alone machine, I can't run that cleanreminder switch. Any suggestions about how to make it work? I see in one tech support document that there's another switch, folderreset; it doesn't work either. "Vince Averello" wrote: See if using the /cleanreminders command line switch helps.

Don't paraphrase the error, post its exact text. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

In the "run" box I'm typing this:
c:\programfiles(x86)\microsoft office\office12\outlook.exe /cleanreminders There's a space before the last forward slash. This is the correct path. The error message says: "The command line argument is not valid. Verify the path you are using." "Readmore" wrote: Has anything worked for you yet?

you have a space between microsoft and office in the path. put quotes
around it or just use outlook.exe /cleanreminders Readmore wrote: In the "run" box I'm typing this: c:\programfiles(x86)\microsoft office\office12\outlook.exe /cleanreminders There's a space before the last forward slash.

Either enter outlook.exe /cleanreminders or "C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook.exe" /cleanreminders Because you did not quote the path containing spaces, the Run command cannot handle the path. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Brian, the error message that I get with the second suggested line, the full
path, is that it "refers to a location that is unavailable." However, tentatively, it appears that the simpler run line might have worked. No error message. I won't know for a bit whether the reminder is gone, but one step at a time. Thanks. "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Readmore" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately, the process did not work. The old meeting reminder keeps
popping up, even though the actual meeting notice in outlook has long since been erased and is gone. Anything else that can be done on an issue like this?
