OK - tried that - it "flashed" and opened a second Outlook Window. The
recurring appointment was still on the calendar so I tried to delete. It
would do anything. So I tried erasing the name. The message was "Could not
save item. your changes could not be saved because you don't have permission
to modify some or all of the items in this foler." Which is odd, as I am the
only one on this computer, and am the admin!
Suggestions?
Thanks

I followed some threads and tried running "outlook/cleanreminders" per one
of the suggestions - and got the message "Windows cannot find
'outlook/cleanreminders'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then
try
again." Well I did type the name correctly, and did try again, but got the
same "windows cannot find..." message.

Your mistake is that you did not include a space between "outlook" and
"/cleanreminders". Use

outlook.exe /cleanreminders
