I have an event reminder for April Fool's Day that keeps popping up.  When I
click on dismiss, I get the message that the event doesn't exist.  I cannot
find it on my calendar.  How do I get rid of it?

HAHAHAHAHA - April Fool's Day - that is a good one!

No, seriously, have you tried starting Outlook one time with the
/cleanreminders switch?  Start->run->outlook.exe /cleanreminders (note the
space after the .exe and before the /)

Thanks very much Milly. It worked perfectly after some hours of trying to
sort out a very similar problem. I had a corrupted calendar entry in Outlook
2002 which when fixed with scanpst in
programfiles\commonfiles\system\mapi\1033 left the reminder running with no
apparent way of switching it off.

I am running Outlook 2000 SP-3.  Reminders do not dismiss.  I have tried
      Start->run->outlook.exe /cleanreminders
but it did not help.  Do you have any other suggestions?
