Outlook reminders not working

[joeybluski]

My outlook 2003 reminders suddenly are not working. All "options" are set
correctly. I have tried "outlook/cleanreminders", my system says there is no
such switch. I have tried opening all recurring reminders and looking for an
error message and have found none.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

There is a space after the .exe and the / in the command line switch.

It should read start->run->outlook.exe /cleanreminders

Milly. Thanks for your reply. I entered exactly as you indicated and I got
the following message: "The command line argument is not valid. Verify the
swithch you are using."

This morning upon opening Outlook several reminders appeared (i.e., all the
old ones from yesterday.) But later reminders (ones not due upon opening)
are still not appearing.

Further info: I am using Outlook 2003 SP3.

Close outlook. Make sure Outlook is not listed in Task Manager, Processes
tab. If it is, select it and click the end process button.

Are you using the quick launch toolbar? If so, right click on the outlook
icon and choose properties. Replace recycle at the end of the command with
cleanreminders
Click apply and double click on the icon in the launch bar. After outlook
loads, replace cleanreminders with recycle and close the dialog.
