Outlook 2007: Missing Tasks and meeting reminders

[David Leslie]

I've been running into a problem with Outlook 2007 where my meeting reminders
fail to display (their set to alert 15 minutes before the start time) and my
Tasks / Do To List gets sent off into the bit bucket when I add them to the
list.

I'm using Exchange server 2003 with a hosted inbox. My personal folder is
kept on my hard drive.

Any advice as to where to look for a solution before the refresh?

BTW, the ribbon is quite nice and I've been impressed by Office 2007 as a
whole.
Thanks,

If it was an upgrade from a previous Office 2007 pre release start Outlook
with the /resettodobar. Otherwise start it with the /cleanreminders switch.

Hi Roady,

I gave both a shot and neither worked.

One thing is that I do bounce from Outlook 2007 on my desktop to 2003 on my
laptop with the same pst file.

Also I noticed than when I click on 'To do List' the color animation at the
top of the column never stops.

I did go from Outlook 2007 with contact manager back to just Outlook 2007.
Is it possible that the to do list got corrupted?

Many thanks,
David
