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.

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.
