Outlook needs to be restarted in order to get calendar reminders to pop up

[Colleen Parker]

I am a tech at a company where most users don't log off their machines
everyday. The problem occurs that if Outlook has been open for days,
the calendar reminders fail to come up. If the user, closes Outlook
and reopens the calendar reminders all pop up but, of course, they are
all late. Is there something that can be done so that this doesn't
happen? Also, just fyi, we are not running an Exchange server.

Thanks in advance,
Colleen Parker

Try opening Outlook using the ".../CleanReminders" switch. The
link(s) below (depending upon your Outlook version) will give
you the instructions on how to use it.

Thanks for the help but could you tell me why this happens in the
first place and only to users who don't shut down Outlook everyday?
Is it a bug within Outlook? Is it a bug related to the fact that we
don't run Exchange?

Thanks again,
