I've downloaded the Outlook Spy program, but I'm afraid of messing up Outlook
instead of fixing it. Would you be able to post the specific steps to solve
the problem (reminders for deleted calendar items)?

Thank you!

My Outlook 2007 in Vista on my laptop recently started the same problem
(reminders for deleted calendar items). Two reminders pop up each time I
open Outlook. One shows as a 7-day old item, the other 108 weeks overdue.

I've used Outlook 2007 for nearly a year. Note: I sync the datafiles
between my Vista laptop and XP desktop using 3rd party software, but don't
have the problem on the XP desktop.

Following this thread, I ran the "outlook.exe /cleanreminders" suggestion.
Did not solve the problem. I changed the "View" to the "All Appointments"
list, put in a "Reminder" column, but could not find either of the
non-existent items.

I also did a search for a specific word in one of the items (a latin name
for a plant that would only have been in the deleted item). Nothing was
found.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Howard

I know you meant to post "cleanreminders" did not work. But if you typed
in "clean reminders" of course it did not work.

However, display your calendar in List view - then scroll down the list
until you find the errant reminder.
