BCM Contacts generates an Outlook reminder for each "Brad Covell" <brad.covell[ at ]vai.org> 10/6/2008 1:46:33 PM First let me write that we have deleted the reoccuring task of Backing up the BCM database so we no longer get reminders from that task. However, a few weeks ago and again today Outlook generated a reminder for each contact within BCM which in our case resulted in 2200 reminders. We have 4 users connected to a shared database and the problem only occurs on one BCM client machine. I have looked at the task list and do not see any BCM type reoccuring task and the contacts themselves don't seem to have tasks or reminders assigned to them. From reading some other articles online it seems this is not isolated. One of the suggestions was to run outlook /cleanreminders which we can do but I'd like to fix the root cause. Can you provide some advice on what might be happening? I'm happy to dive into the gritty details myself but I need a place to start. Thanks for any direction you can provide. Thanks Brad

RE: BCM Contacts generates an Outlook reminder for each Bryan Reid 10/27/2008 1:16:01 AM Brad, I have the same issue. I'm a single BCM user and I have 800+ reminders. The MS rep did a cleanreminders but the problem came back. Have you found a resolution?

Re: BCM Contacts generates an Outlook reminder for each "BCovelle" <bcovelle[ at ]community.nospam> 10/28/2008 8:01:04 PM Bryon and Luther, I have searched but have not seen a solution to this. I have also run cleanreminders but a month later the user received the alerts back again. We have 4 users and only 1 is experiencing the problem. I had that user delete any repeating task that references BCM and that worked for 3/4 users but it came back for 1. I expect that user to have the problem again next week when the new month starts. It seems random. I'll let you know if it comes back. Otherwise, look for any BCM related tasks in the Outlook Task List and delete it and delete any reoccurring data that is associated with that task.
