Cleaning up Corrupt Outlook Reminders

My Calendar meeting reminders don't appear when I use Microsoft Outlook 2000 in connected mode. When I work offline, I often see several reminders popping up as past-due. Why aren't reminders working while I'm connected?

The most likely reason is that your reminders folder has one or more corrupt reminder items. To resolve this problem, type

outlook /cleanreminders

at a DOS prompt or in the Run command's Open field.

    Tried doing this but I can't seem to figure out if it is actually cleaning the reminders list or not. Is there a way to check if the process is working and/or log for the same.

    Tot he above poster, the command in the run would look something more like this:

    "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office11\\Outlook.exe" /cleanreminders

    Change the path to wherever your outlook.exe is located.

    Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.
    The command line argument is not valid.
    Verify the switch you are using.
