Error: Problem reading one or more of your reminders

[Simon G]

Outlook has started bringing up the following error message when I start up:
"There was a problem reading one or more of your reminders. Some reminders
may not appear. Cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment."
This error now blocks any reminders from appearing, for Calendar and Tasks.
What can I do to resolve this?

Thank, I did that - ran with Outlook running already and with Outlook off.
But I still got the same error message when I re-started Outlook.

Run a Detect and Repair from the Help Menu or you can even delete and
recreate the Outlook profile to see if that helps:

Thanks for the suggestion, but this didn't work. My IT/network people have
been playing around for 2 hours without success.

I see there was another discussion earlier "Microsoft Warning appears on
Outlook Startup 6/7/2005", and it doesn't look like a solution was found
for that one either.

Have they tried any of the Outlook switches? If you connect to an Exchange
server there is also a /cleanfreebusy switch as well as a /cleanprofile and
others that might be helpful:

your custom views, toolbars, etc.

I didn't try those switches, but I did resolve it the 'long way'.
Went through my calendar items which had recurring items, deleted, and
re-created them. That stopped the error message coming up.
So my analysis of this error is:
it is an issue related to synchronisation with another device - cellphone,
PDA etc - and there is a corruption during syncing that includes calendar
items with recurrence. The cleanreminder switch does not fix it.
