Reminder Prompt but Can't Find Entry

[Basil Pappas]

I keep being reminded of a recurring calendar entry (weekly appointment)
which the program cannot open, find or delete. Yet it each time I open
Microsoft Outlook it reminds me of this reccuring entry. Of course there is
no way for me to correct the problem and I am told that I may be reminded
again since the program cannot locate the entry.

Have you tried opening outlook using the /cleanreminders switch?

If Diane's suggestion doesn't work, display your calendar in a table view like
Events and add the Reminder column using Field Choose. Group by that field
and examine the "Reminder: Yes" group. See if an entry there corresponds with
the obdurate reminder. If so, you should be able to select it and press
Delete.
