can't create a recurring appt/event
I have Outlook 2003 running under Vista HP-64; and have been for about six
months. My wife just about killed me because I "forgot" the wedding anniversary. I didn't forget, Outlook didn't remind me of the recurring appt I created long time ago. After that, I created several different (weekly, monthly, annual) recurring appts to test the system; Outlook won't send reminders for anything except a non-recurring appt. Given all the recurring appts I have in Outlook, this problem is really causing some grief. I haven't archived my Outlook email in a while - I'm wondering if there is a memory limit for non-archived data? -- Thx, Doug

There is no "memory limit". Where are you trying to send the reminders?

can't create a recurring appt/event
Diane,
I'm not sending anything anywhere; I open Outlook to read email and also to wait for the "reminder" dialogues to show up. I'm not seeing reminders for most of my stored recurring events. I also just discovered another anomaly - I have two mail folders named "Personal Folders", which are identical in size. There's no way to delete either folder, as the "Close" option is grayed-out. I loaded Outlook on this computer 6 months ago. I switched out the new pst file with the pst file from an old computer. Somehow, I ended up with two "Personal Folders", when I need only one. -- Thx, Doug "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: There is no "memory limit". Where are you trying to send the reminders?

I have no Outlook add-ins. The only virus scanner I use is McAfee, which is provided by Comcast. I've been using McAfee & Outlook for years without the problem that showed up recently. -- Thx, Doug "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: There is no "memory limit".

Your profile is all messed up - switching out pst's will do that. You can
try to repair it using instructions at http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/ghosts.htm or make a new one. That may be the cause of the reminders not firing. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

can't create a recurring appt/event
Diane,
Thx. I got rid of the ghost folder using a tip at your suggested site. I didn't use the registry method, I used two pst files called Outlook1 & Outlook2. As soon as I fixed the ghost issue, I set up an annual recurring event to see if the reminder would work. I set the event to start tomorrow with the advance reminder set to 3 days. The reminder dialogue should have showed up as soon as I hit "save & close" for the new event. It didn't show up, even after I closed & re-opened Outlook. I agree with you in that I've probably got a corruption somewhere; I assume it's in the registry... I suppose removing Outlook (from the computer) and reloading it is the next step? -- Thx, Doug "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: Your profile is all messed up - switching out pst's will do that.

I'm running Outlook 2003 under Vista HP-64-SP1. I didn't know what mail applet you refer to; so I did a search at MS Outlook website. Apparently I need to find "Mail Setup", and I get there by finding the "Mail" icon in Control Panel in one of two places; either in classic view or in User Accounts. I have no such icon in either location. -- Thx, Doug "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Doug H" wrote in message ...

Brian,
I found the 32-bit Control Panel. I set up the new profile. It didn't resolve the problem, as the new profile doesn't send reminders for numerous recurring appts I set to occur in the next two days (with the advance reminder set at 3 days). I set up two 1-shot appts on same days, same advance, and got reminders for both of them immediately after hitting 'save & close.' -- Thx, Doug "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Doug H" wrote in message ...
