I've been late to two meetings today because Outlook spontaneously stopped giving me reminder popups, even though they're set in the individual scheduled appointments.
Is there a global setting in Outlook 2003 that I may have accidentally used to disable these reminders? Where can I look to troubleshoot this?
I had the same problem with Outlook 2010. Use the steps mentioned below, it works like a charm. Don't forget to enable all macros: Trust Center > Macro Settings.
Paste in this code:
Private Declare PtrSafe Function FindWindowA Lib "user32" _
(ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare PtrSafe Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" ( _
ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, _
ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, _
ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
Private Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Private Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Private Const FLAGS As Long = SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE
Private Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Private Sub Application_Reminder(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim ReminderWindowHWnd As Variant
On Error Resume Next
ReminderWindowHWnd = FindWindowA(vbNullString, "1 Reminder")
SetWindowPos ReminderWindowHWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, FLAGS
End Sub
Sign the Macro so it will run: Tools > Digital Signature... and choose the certificate you created earlier
Your question asks to "retrieve all dismissed reminders". I am not sure if, by "retrieve", you mean to view a list of all dismissed reminders or if you want to "undismiss" them. I've been looking for a solution to the latter for a long time and just now stumbled upon it. You first open the meeting or appointment (I double-click the event in my calendar). At the top, you will see this:
If you dismissed the reminder then the Reminder field will say None. Change it to a new interval and then click Save & Close. You should get the reminder again.

If Display the reminder is already selected, follow this troubleshooting advice on Microsoft's website.
