Reminders do not occur for recurring appointments
Hello,
I am using one .pst file on one computer, no sync software, network, or anything else. When I create a recurring appointment such as a birthday that occurs every year as an all day event and set a reminder for it, the reminder does not occur. The reminder box is checked when I look at the recurring appointment as a series, but when I view it as an occurrence it is not checked - and when I do check it, it goes back to unchecked. All other reminders work perfectly for independent occurences and tasks. I have tried outlook.exe /resetfolders /cleanreminders switches with no luck. Please help! |

Reminders do not occur for recurring appointments
I just ran into the same thing. Here's the deal... if you set the reminder
so that on the first occurrence, it would remind in the past, Outlook won't set the reminder. Subsequent reminders will work fine. So for example, if you set an appointment for tomorrow to recur every year, then set the reminder for 2 weeks before, the first instance will not remind. The rest will. If you set the reminder for 5 minutes before, the first instance will get the reminder. -- Josh Einstein / Tablet PC MVP Einstein Technologies, LLC ----------------------------------------------------- Tablet Enhancements for Outlook 3.0 Now Available Unleash the potential of Outlook on your Tablet PC, Origami, or UMPC.

Thank You! You are correct - I just changed my first occurrence to one week
away and sure enough the reminder occurred. That sure is a relief! Thanks Again. Jeff "Josh Einstein" wrote: I just ran into the same thing.
