How do I stop past reminders from displaying when I start outlook?

[thelerners]

If I have not opened outlook for a couple of days, all the reminders that are
overdue are displayed. When I sync my Blackberry there is an option to not
display past reminders. Besides going to each calendar event and turning off
the reminder, is there a way to tell Outlook not to display reminders for
events that have already occured? Example. I have both my work and personal
calendar entries on my home computer. When I am at work I take care of the
reminders as they pop up. When I get home and turn on outlook, It
immediately dumps the whole days reminders to the screen before I can
sysnchronize my BB, which should tel outlook the reminders have been
answered.

I don't think there's a way to addres this, but when I sync as you describe,
the sync process dismisses the reminders for me. I use a Windows Mobile
device and not a Blackberry, however, so I don't know if that makes a
difference.

Since you need to sync before the BB can tell outlook the reminders are
dismissed, no. You can select them in the reminder window and dismiss the
whole group.

If you don't need reminders at home, disable all reminders in Outlook - see
