Hi all,

We have a small network and we use Outlook 2003 on a server. We share this 
with a third party application called Public Sharefolder. In this way all of 
us can use the shared calender and task list. It works fine.
One of us had set some reminders. We found it is impossible to remove the 
reminders and everytime when her Outlook starts up, the reminders pop up. 
You can remove a reminder but then Outlook says (translated): "Microsoft 
Office can not switch off the reminder. Perhaps the reminder may be 
repeated. Unable to finish this action. One or more parameters are 
incorrect."
After removing these reminders they disappear from the reminder window, but 
everytime when Outlook starts, they reappear.

Anyone got an idea how to solve this? I checked Outlook on the server but no 
reminders are to be seen there.

Thanks in advance for your ansers.

With kind regards,

Fokke Nauta

Yes, I did with outlook on the person's PC as well as outlook on the server. 
Unfortunately to no avail.

I tried /cleanreminders, as well as another switch (/cleanclientrules) bit 
it did not work out. The concerning appointments have all been removed but 
the reminders keep popping up.
