Cannot delete Outlook 2003 calendar event reminder

[John]

- When I click on "Dismiss" it returns the following error message:
Cannot turn off the reminder. You may be reminded again. Could not
complete the operation. One or more parameter values ae not valid.

- When I click on"Open Item" it returns the following error message:
Cannot open the itme for this reminder. The end date you entered
occurs before the start date.

I have looked for the event in the calendar, from 1999 to 2009 and cannot
locate it. Please advise me how to delete the reminder.

I checked existing threads on this board and couldn't find anything that
worked. That included the /CleanReminders and /ResetFolders switches.

Display your calendar using the Recurrence view. Then search for your item which should be obvious. Delete it.

I have this problem in Outlook 2007. I found the item in recurrence view. I
tried to delete it and it only says: "Cannot open this item. Cannot locte
recurrence information for this appointment."

Did you try what Milly suggested in the very message you quoted?

 

[Ysaac Bautista]

Be real, the person obviously already tried that. I know I did! This is an issue with Outlook where the reminder is set for an item that already has been deleted. We are looking for a fix, not something silly. Now what?

has anybody tried to restart outlook using cleanreminders?

1.) Close outlook
2.) run --> outlook /cleanreminders

not sure if this works in a version higher than 2000 let me know.
