Old reminders keep coming back

[Andrew]

Outlook 2007 keeps recreating reminders I have previously closed and the
list grows longer each time. I use the Run command "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\OUTLOOK.EXE /cleanreminders" to clear them.
This works for a while, but they always return again later.

Quite apart from the nusiance value it has become a real problem because it
is now taking several minutes for Outlook to "dismiss all", and for ever to
dismiss them individually, and a few of the reminders should not be
dismissed anyway.

Is there a bug fix that will stop old reminders from reappearing?

TIA
Andrew

Incase this issue is still unsolved...
Here is what I discovered. I had MANY calenders, i.e hotmail via
connector, multiple test calenders in outlook, and a few that were
even in the deleted items, and one in a deleted item in an OLD archive
folder. No matter where a calender is, even if deleted, or if in an
obscure archive folder, you will still get reminders from those.

If you do any on-line sync with other services (Plaxo, Google,
Hotmail, etc) you will have multiple calendars and or duplicate
contacts. You can also have issues if you have dates in any contacts.
I used to keep my employees date of birth in outlook in the details
tab. That automatically adds a calendar entry and can be hard to find
if you have lots of contacts or use sync services like Plaxo or others
that add dates.

If you Sync your PDA with multiple computers, you can also find you
have duplicate calendar entries as well as contacts. I sync work via
exchange, and hard sync at home, however, I have to routinly go
through my calendar and cotacts to get rid of duplicates. it just
kinda explodes itself if you use your device and computer to the max.

Anyhow, after a bit of deleting,my problems finally went away.

I am not syncing with anything.
I have also discovered that several of my posts including my original one
here are not showing up in Windows Mail - no idea why not. Using IE for this
forum now.
