RE: Outlook 2010 help??
Hi Joe, Rather than turning off the reminder sound for all appointments (which virtually prevents you from using the Outlook calendar feature), I suggest you first see if it's an appointment reminder or something else making the sound; if it's a reminder, you could easily just clear all the pending ones so that you can start over. To see if it's a reminder for a calendar appointment, alt-tab through your open windows when you hear the sound, and see if you find one whose title is reminders. If you find such a window, there are buttons you can find by tabbing through the controls in this window. One deletes the current reminder, and one deletes all pending reminders (and then the window will close). If you don't find a reminders window, is it happening when you open an Outlook email? If so, it might be the sound played when the notification bar of an Outlook email has a message for you. The message is usually automatically spoken as you hear the sound. There is a way you can configure Outlook Enhance not to play a sound for these notification bar messages. Finally, I wrote an app named Outlook Reminder, which plays the Outlook reminder sound once a minute, if you leave the reminders window open (it's designed so you won't miss a reminder if you were out of the room when it happened). If you installed this app, you could either dismiss all your reminders as described above, or uninstall this app, and at least you will only hear the Outlook reminder sound the one time you go into Outlook.

Re: Outlook 2010 help??
Sorry, my previous advice seemed to work when I tested it but upon closing and restarting Outlook the appointment chime did in fact play. I apologize. Glad I didn't charge anyone for that ...

I don't believe that there is a way to delete all of the holidays stored in your calendar with one command. However, you can tell Outlook to not play the reminder sound. Here is how to do this. From the main Outlook window, press alt-F for the file menu (backstage view, to be technical.) Arrow down to options and press enter. You will be in a list of categories. In this list, press down arrow until you hear the word calendar. Don't press enter at this point; rather, press the tab key to move through the plethora of calendar options. Move to the default reminders checkbox and press the spacebar to uncheck the checkbox. Press enter and your problem should be fixed.

RE: Outlook 2010 help??
This is also true if you hve an iOS device and create reminders on it. If your reminders are saved to iCloud and you have iCloud interfaced with Outlook you will receive a reminder chime until you clear it it on your device.

RE: Outlook 2010 help??
I am a bit confused. This is not about appointments I have put on my calendar. This is the reminder longer chime with kind of a strum chord and I get it on all special days: Easter, Administrative Professionals Day, etc. I think I simply don't know how to dismiss these. Sorry I wasn't more clear. I never thought of it being linked with iCloud. Marc, you are too thorough and I am very grateful for your patience.
