Help me dismiss alarms PERMANENTLY

[Fred]

I am using Outlook 2000 at work and synchronize it with a
Palm T3 twice a day (starting time and quitting time).

Today is a typical day. I have a total of 84 alarms
greeting me this morning. Of those 12 are actual alarms
which I have not addressed from Calendar items from the
previous day. That's fine I don't mind a dozen or so.
However the remaining 71 alarms are for items which I
completed and alarms that I had previously dismissed from
the previous day, the day before that, etc. I dismissed
them already! Why do they keep coming back? How do I
permanently dismiss an alarm for a calendar item which I
have completed? This has been a serious drain on my
productivity having to separate the wheat from the chaff
of my daily alarms each morning. Has anyone else
experienced this problem? My IT guy has no solution for
me. Please help!

Do those alarms have recurrences defined for them?

Some do, but most don't. Most were just one time
occurences, though. Does this help?

No. I'm suspecting the sync program, however.

If I were in your shoes, I'd create a brand-new PST file, make it my default
delivery location, and sync. If the old alarms appear, it's definitely the
PDA's fault.
