I mistakenly clicked "Dismiss" for an item in Outlook reminder screen. Any way of getting this back, or at least read the details somewhere? Can't find in Recycle Bin.

Thanx !
 
Any backups that you might be able to restore?

 
Try this:

1) Open 'Outlook'.
2) Select 'Calendar' in the 'Outlook Shortcuts' pane.
2) Select 'Current View > Recurring Appointments' from the 'View' menu.
3) Click on the 'Recurrence Pattern' column header to sort the reminders into month order.
4) Look at the dates in the month when you dismissed the reminder.

(Example above uses Outlook 2000 SP3. Your version may be slightly different.)

Hope this helps...
 
Thanks Rick998. Deleted Reminder, not calendar, is the problem.
But I appreciate the technique of seeing recurring events, haven't used that before.
 
Thanks, linney. No backups of profile (which is where reminders are probably stored). I just thought XP would maintain a list of reminders somewhere that I could access, unformatted would be fine. Kinda like a "Reminder Recycle Bin". Not life-or-death situation.

 
Just what I needed, Alidabiri !
Many thnx.
