Anyone seen this before? I have a client that says this come sup when you
open Outlook in the morning. Pops up: "Cannot turn off the reminder. You may
be reminded again. Could not complete the operation. One or more parameter
values are not valid".

She is able to dismiss and continue on with the day, but it is irritating
and always comes up.

Outlook 2003
Win XP SP2

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Have her try starting Outlook once with the /cleanreminders command line
switch.
 
Sorry about the first response. Forgot to include the text (First-Timer!!)
I am getting the same error message. However starting with the
/CleanReminders switch does not work.
Also, not sure if it's relevant, but I now cannot open appointments which I
have marked as private.
Can you assist?

Define "does not work". Do you mean you couldn't use the switch or that you
could use it, but it didn't help?

Exactly what happens when you try? What error messages do you get? Have
you tried a new mail profile? Have you tried Help>Detect and Repair?

/thanks for the speedy response. I'll try to be more precise.
The /CleanReminders switch will work in opening Outlook, but the problem
remains in that when I open my Calendar, it pops up the Reminder window, with
two appointments from the past, both of them overdue.
When I click to dismiss each of the appointments, I get the message "Cannot
turn off the reminder. You may be reminded again. Could not complete the
operation. One or more parameter values are not valid"
I click OK and then the appt is dismissed. However when I close and re-open
Outlook, the same thing happens.
I have created a new profile and also run Detect and Repair, but the problem
persists each time I close and then open Outlook.

Since these are reminders are for past events, have you deleted the events?

It may be time to start with a new PST and copy the data over from the old.
 
I also have this problem except when I open my calendar the item that I am
being reminded of is not there. I get the same message about parameter
values are not valid, but do not know where the item came from. I can't open
it or dismiss it. If I try to set the reminder to 2 weeks, it comes up again
in about 5 minutes.
