Calendar reminder does not work even though it's turned on
Even though my calendar reminder (and reminder.wav sound) is set to on, none
of my reminders ever pop up on my screen. 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. |

Try starting Outlook with the /resetfolders and /cleanreminders switches. In
the Start, Run dialog: outlook.exe /resetfolders /cleanreminders Then press Enter. See if that helps. -- 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 "Bob" wrote in message news Even though my calendar reminder (and reminder.wav sound) is set to on, none of my reminders ever pop up on my screen.

Thank you Ken! This worked for me as well and I have been struggling trying
to get my reminders to work for weeks now!! The other thing that has not been working for me is future-dated e-mails not being sent. I hope the two are related and this is working for me too!

Ken,
I am having the same problems as Bob. I typed the link in the dialog box but it did not fix the problem. Am I doing something wrong.

Did you get any errors?
If no errors then you might have a corrupted profile. Another possibility is if you are using a PDA and synching with Outlook. You can create a new Outlook profile from scratch and see if that works. If you use a PDA and synch software make sure you are using the latest version. Some of that stuff synchs the hidden Reminders folder and ends up corrupting it. -- 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 "Scott" wrote in message ...

Did you leave spaces between the switches and before the first switch? It
doesn't look like it. -- 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 "Misty" wrote in message ...

Ken,
Below you wrote, "If you use a PDA and synch software make sure you are using the latest version. Some of that stuff synchs the hidden Reminders folder and ends up corrupting it." I am using Intellisync to sync my Blackberry with Outlook, I have run Outlook with /cleanreminders and /resetfolders and I still get the "There was a problem reading one or more of your reminders..." message when I start Outlook. If Intellisync has corrupted my Reminders folder how do I fix it? "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: Did you get any errors? If no errors then you might have a corrupted profile.
