Reminders run wild in OL 2003

D

Danny

Whenever I open Outlook 2003 I get 142 "reminders". Most cannot be dismissed.
Some can be dismissed but re-appear the next time that OL is opened.
I have tried the "cleanreminders" switch, I have tried the "cleanfreebusy"
switch. I still have the same problem.
Help Please.

Then try displaying your calendar in a table view, find the errant reminders, highlight (don't open) and press delete.

Thank you for the reply.
I cannot figure out how to display the calendar in "table view".
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you again

I've been trying to answer your last post for a couple of days. Today, it
decided to let me in. Anyway.....
Maybe I'm not trying the table view. Here is the menu progression that I'm
using to get to table view.
[view>arrange by>current view>recurring appointment]
Is this where you are asking me to go?

each time i try that, i get an empty list.

As I said, then try a different table view, like category view.
