    So just throwing this out there as it's very annoying, so any help is appreciated. Every time I open ms outlook on my laptop i get an event reminder that pops up. This is for an event about a year ago. If I click on open to view the event I get an error message and it won't let me. If I choose to dismiss or dismiss all it gives an error message and won't let me. When I open outlook the calendar event is not even in my calendar. I just recently tried a couple new cell phones so did a lot of syncing with ms outlook for that, and after that is sort of when this started.

    Any ideas, it's really annoying having that popup reminder everytime i open outlook, and the only way to get rid of it is to close the window, but then it will appear next time i open the program.

    try exporting the outlook calendar to a file, as a backup. Then delete the calendar and import the backup.

    This works for my inboxes when I have problems like that I can not mark something unread for some reason. Never tried with calendar.

    Alright, sorry for putting this post in the wrong fourm, my bad. I finally fixed it though and it was actually really simple. I spent hours googling it and a few pretty technical ways of resolving it didn't work.

    All I had to do was open outlook, view the calendar, and set the calendar view to display only recurring events. The event was listed at the top of the list, deleted it from there and no more issues after that.

    thanks for the help though guys
