Reccurring reminders error

[Forrest Bivens]

The reccuring reminders for 2 old appts still continue to pop up each time outlook is opened, very annoying. Have attempted to Start Outlook many times with the /cleanreminders command line switch as described here:

http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/switches.htm

with no change...

Any other ideas?

Try using OutlookSpy to delete them. I don't have specific instructions, but
basic instructions are here:
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/delete_rr.htm. You need to find the
Reminders folder.

Hi,

Thanks very much for responding. Would you mind checking that link you sent? It isn't valid. I searched the site as well, no luck.

Thanks again,

Forrest

Hi Diane,

Disregard last reply. I found the page you recommended, however it is for read receipts. I still downloaded outlookspy, hoping...praying...for a clue. None found! Been searching the site for deleting recurring reminders errors, so far nothing. Have not found a reminders folder using outlookspy either. Basically I am stuck!

Thanks,

Forrest

Found the fix!!!!

You will need to go to the Calendar.
Select View -> Current View - All Appointments
This should show a list of meetings in the Calendar. We also need to disable any filters to ensure that all of
the meetings are showing in this list.
Select View -> Current View -> Customize Current View.

The meetings should be grouped according to Recurrence. the Recurrent (none) items can be ignored as they do not cause the issue.

Now you will need to open every recurrence meeting to see if it opens successfully. The ones causing the problem will give an error message. The faulty meeting should be moved out of the Calendar, either by deleting it or by moving it to a Personal Folder file.

Yes it is. It worked perfectly when I tried it.
