Hi

About every 2-3 days, either after 5 p.m. or the following morning if I don't look at the Pocket PC at night, I get reminders pop up for a non-existent "appointment" at 5 p.m., usually 2-3 of them. There are no details given for the appointments. I click "dismiss" and they're gone. I've checked very carefully for any actual blank appointments in both Outlook on my PC and the Pocket Outlook on my PPC.

How can I make them go away?

Are they perhaps "All Day" appointments? They're a bit harder to see visually in the calendar view - you need to look up at the very top of the screen.

Have you looked at the actual alarms in the clock applet? Might not be an Outlook thing at all.

You mean under settings>clock, where I had M & F checked for the time my alarms were popping up? :oops:

Could be...

Thanks.

Well, with all the complaints about alarms not working, you can at least take comfort in the fact that your's do :) Glad I helped. Personally I think that screen should be easier to get to. Maybe a tap and hold on the time in the task bar. Do any of you actually use the Analog/Digital setting there :?:

I like the analog setting except on the PPCPE (Siemens SX56). When you power this device, it shows the digital for a few seconds then reverts back to analog. I never had the issue with my Ipaqs.
