accidentally deleted a reminder
 
an outlook reminder popup came up as i was editing an email and the DEL key
acted on the reminder instead of the email window. the last time this
happened it cost me $300 (i forgot to pay a fine).

PLEASE help me find somehow which reminder i hit DEL on.

thanks

I tested this.

If you deleted an event from the reminder window, it only gets deleted from
that window. It doesn't get deleted from your Calendar which means that you
can still look that event up in your calendar. I'm assuming that your
reminders are set to pop up within 15 min to7 days from the event date which
means that all you have to do is browse through your calendar events within
a 7-day period.

i have a lot of reminders that are postponed for months plus recurring
reminders which might have been postponed for days. if it was just the
recently created reminders it would be easy.

(i've been using outlook for 9 years but i thought this would be the best
forum to ask this Q)

thanks

If it's for calendar events, then technically,
microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring would be more appropriate.
