Help tells me to go to Options, then select "Advanced" but it doesn't exist
in my version.

Tools | Options | Other tab | Advanced Options | Reminder Options ... allows
you to disable the display of the Reminder and turn off the reminder
notification sound.
that's for Outlook 2007 - might be similar for other versions.

I have used this solution (disable reminders) to 'band aid' another issue;
About 476 reminders (all contacts) pop up and cannot be removed from the
reminder list. I tried dismissing single reminders, all reminders, opening
individual contacts and clearing flags/reminders, marked them 'completed',
all to no avail. This issue was in the 2007 pst file, so I brought the
problem along when I imported into ost/exchange. The contacts may have been
sync'd with a PDA in the past and with outlook 2003. Calendar items are not
an issue.
Running scanpst or scanost have not worked.

Sounds like a great solution, but it didn't work. Do you have anything up
your sleeve like
Start | Run -> Outlook /fixthisdarnthing
By the way, turning off reminders didn't help. The reminders looped in the
background tying up outlook giving me the pointer for 2 secs every 20.
Setting reminders to 2 weeks gives me a break though.

Nothing else I can think of. Except a new profile and start from scratch.

Oh well, thanks for the brain strain.
I think I'll export the bad contacts, delete them, then import them (without
the hidden info like flags and reminders). At least I won't have to worry
about the other 2000 contacts this way.
Have a great day!

I am on Outlook 2003. The reminder to turn off the Out of Office

determine the conditions.

People who email me while I am gone do get the message. (Of course, so
do people who email me after I've returned, until I remember to turn
it off!)

Does anyone have more info, or any ideas about how to fix this?

Thank you,

6. Temporarily turn off all reminders?

Is there a way (Outlook 2000) to toggle all of the reminders on and
off all at once without affecting any of their other settings?

I use a lot of reminders. Sometimes, when I get behind on things, they
fill the screen. I don't want to shut down Outlook, but I want the
reminders to go away temporarily. I would then like to be able to
reenable them and have them all return.

Can I do that?
