Outlook reminders do not work

[NigelLawton009]

For some time my Outlook reminders have not worked. They simply do not
appear except when starting Outlook offline which I only do occasionally and
then get hundreds of reminders at once (several weeks' worth). My IT
support's solution was to upgrade Outlook to 2003 SP2 (previously 2000) but
exactly the same problem remains. The reminders are clearly enabled and set
as they come up offline, but do not appear when I am online which is most of
the time. My reminder options under tools, options, advanced options,
reminder options are set to display the reminder. Something somewhere,
possibly a service of some sort, is not working! Please can you advise?

Hi NagelLawton009,

You might have better luck receiving an answer if you post your query to a
newsgroup that is dedicated to Outlook, for example:

(newsreader)
microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring

(web-based)
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie....aspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring

(newsreader)
microsoft.public.outlook.general

(web-based)
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...ault.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.general

How you proceed depends to a certain extent to how *exactly* your IT Dept
upgraded ie what they did with your origonal data file
You will need to include this info when posting to an OL newsgroup
