  Question
  Outlook Office 2003. When I launch outlook I get a warning message "There was
a problem reading one or more of your reminders. Some reminders may not
appear. Cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment." I
actually receive NONE of my reminders, and I have hundreds of appointments in
my calndar, any of which are recurring. How can I find the offender to fix so
I can get reminders? Just started this week...

  I fixed the problem by opening outlook calander and in the search engine in
the top right corner of the calander I put the name of the reacurring
appontment and the search found found the appointment then I deleted it and
then it disapeared. I did again for to the next three appontments and the
problem stopped.

  Tried the recommended fixes and the problem remains. Still no reminders
(Outlook 2007 up-to-date w/ windows update stuff).

Are you sure the calendar you're viewing is in the delivery location data
store?

  I am not sure how to check or change it if it is not where it should be.
The reminders do show up on my Win Mobile 5 pocket pc. I had recently
upgraded to Outlook 2007 from Outlook XP and brought the message base and
other stuff over by importing them using the file ->import... function. I
have run the Outlook /resetfolders and /cleanreminders command line switches.

Tools>Account Settings>Data Files tab. The data file marked as Default will
contain the calendar where reminders will fire.

Import is never the way to pull in data from a prior version of Outlook.
Importing from a PST can have unusual side-effects. If you want to pull
data in from another PST, just open that PST with File>Open>Outlook Data
File and copy the data from the added PST's folders to their corresponding
folders in the default PST.

There may also be a sync issue here.
