Default Calendar reminder does not work even though it's turned on



This worked, which was great, but does anyone know why this happens?

Try starting Outlook with the /resetfolders and /cleanreminders switches. In
the Start, Run dialog:

outlook.exe /resetfolders /cleanreminders

Then press Enter. See if that helps.

Even though my calendar reminder (and reminder.wav sound) is set to on,

none
of my reminders ever pop up on my screen. They used to work, but stopped
recently, and none of the help desk folks here on Robins AFB can seem to

fix
it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It could be a lot of things. Some synch software corrupts the hidden
Reminders folder or create duplicates of it, those switches fix that
problem. Other things can corrupt the MAPI property that tells Outlook where
the Reminders folder is located, /resetfolders resets those pointers.
