Outlook Office 2003. When I launch outlook I get a warning message "There was
a problem reading one or more of your reminders. Some reminders may not
appear. Cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment." I
actually receive NONE of my reminders, and I have hundreds of appointments in
my calndar, any of which are recurring. How can I find the offender to fix so
I can get reminders? Just started this week...

Start-run-outlook.exe /cleanreminders.

I fixed the problem by opening outlook calander and in the search engine in
the top right corner of the calander I put the name of the reacurring
appontment and the search found found the appointment then I deleted it and
then it disapeared. I did again for to the next three appontments and the
problem stopped.

Tried the recommended fixes and the problem remains. Still no reminders
(Outlook 2007 up-to-date w/ windows update stuff).

Are you sure the calendar you're viewing is in the delivery location data
store?

I am not sure how to check or change it if it is not where it should be.
The reminders do show up on my Win Mobile 5 pocket pc. I had recently
upgraded to Outlook 2007 from Outlook XP and brought the message base and
other stuff over by importing them using the file -import... function. I
have run the Outlook /resetfolders and /cleanreminders command line switches.

ToolsAccount SettingsData Files tab. The data file marked as Default will
contain the calendar where reminders will fire.

Import is never the way to pull in data from a prior version of Outlook.
Importing from a PST can have unusual side-effects. If you want to pull
data in from another PST, just open that PST with FileOpenOutlook Data
File and copy the data from the added PST's folders to their corresponding
folders in the default PST.

There may also be a sync issue here.

I have Outlook 2007 with updates installed on Win 7 and at first I got
updates as usual, but after a couple weeks for no apparent reason I started
getting error messages saying some reminders could not be read. Then a week
later no more error messages. So I completely uninstalled and reinstalled,
cleaning all my PST files with scanpst.exe and using the suggested steps
above too. Nothing...
