Outlook 2007 and the reminder that does not exist.

[Keith Arrons]

We recently upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007. We have ran in to a lot of issues mainly with outlook. All the issues I was able to resolve except one. I have a user that when she launches outlook she gets a reminder that says the task is due now. She can close and open outlook 10 times and each time this reminder will pop up (several seconds after outlook was launched)stating that it is due now (never overdue). I have looked in her reoccuring events and deleted this reminder, samething happens. I went thru ever reminder and calendar event one by one and each is good and there is no reminder or calendar event with this same name. I ran the cleanreminder, cleanfreebusy and cleanprofile switches, no help. We use XP pro with roaming profiles. I though that maybe it might be something in her application data foleder in her profile. I had her log in to another PC and the same thing happens. I then removed her profie off the PC and had her profile recreated on the DC. The new profile loaded, configured outlook (which ment creatnig a new outlook profile),the same thing happened. The last thing I can think of is if her exchange mailbox is corrupt. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what is cauing this or has ran across this before? I would delete the reminders from there storage location but my understanding is that the reminders are built in to the mailbox on the exchange server.

Regards,
Keith

reminders are stored in a hidden folder in the mailbox. you could use
outlookspy or mdbvu to view and delete it.
