I tried this, but it is still set up the same way. My "Search Folder" is a
subset of my "Personal Folders" so it will only search folders in my
"Personal Folders" which does not include my "Inbox".

Flagged for follow up and reminders are 2 separate properties although
usually if you set a reminder on an item it gets flagged also. However you
can have a reminder with no flag and a flag with no reminder.

If you set a flag does it appear with a flag in the folder view? If it
does
and not in the Follow Up folder then that folder should be deleted and
re-created. To do so right-click in that folder in the Folder List and
delete it. Then right-click on the Search Folders entry in the Folder List
and select New Search Folder. In that dialog select "mail flagged for
follow
up" to create a new search folder.

If you set a reminder on an item and it isn't in the default Inbox,
Calendar, Tasks or Contacts folders it will not fire a reminder, the item
will only turn red when due.

So the behavior would depend on where the item lives, if a flag or
reminder
or both are set on an item and if the search folder is working.

I don't understand your question.
The email never makes it into the Follow Up folder as it is suppose to.
Therefore, it never displays in the Reminder Window; hence, the reminder
never occurs.

A search folder can only search in the mail store it's in. It cannot search
across mail stores (PST files).

I'm not sure I understand your response. My wife posted this issue. It is
my desktop computer, running Outlook 2003 that is working correctly. Her
laptop (and a co-worker) is having the problem. But now that you mentioned
the PST file, it brings up a point. I know I have a PST file. I don't know
if she does.

If she is configured differently and does NOT have a PST file, will hers
work the same?

You either have a PST file or an Exchange mailbox. Both would work the same,
neither can search across mail stores. A search folder in an Exchange
mailbox can only search in that mailbox. In a PST a search folder can only
search in that PST.

I check her laptop to see how it was configured.
She does use the PST as oppose to the Exchange Server.
We are still at a lost as to why her laptop (and co-worker) cannot flag a
follow-up as I can do on my desktop computer.

Again, are these items with flags in the same PST file as the search folder?

Are you definitely referring to flagged items and not just items with
reminders set on them?

Are these mail items? Outlook search folders (unless created by code) can
only work with mail items.
