I deleted a calendar appointment about three weeks ago.
For some reason the reminder for it will just not go
away. I dismiss the reminder and it is gone,
temoporarily. Whenever I restart outlook it pops up the
reminder again. If I try to open the item from the
reminder dialog box I get the following error message

"Cannot open the item for this reminder. Unknown Error"

I use multiple clients on different computers with the
same result. (WinXP, WinNT, Office 2002, Office 2003) My
guess is that it is a bug on the Exchange server.

Any clues? I'm getting tired of being reminded that I'm X
weeks late for a meeting that I attended X weeks ago!
 
I'll answer my own post ....

After reading through some other messages on the board I
think I found my solution.

Starting Outlook with the /CleanReminders option fixed
it.

Hopefully that's all that it "fixed". I guess I will find
out next week when/if I'm late for all my other meetings
when/if the reminders still work for the valid calendar
items.
