If you "View" your Outlook Calendar by "Categories", you can easily find
your Quicken reminders: they have an Outlook category of "Quicken Bill
Reminder".

Okay, fine. Still not useful to me as I don't use categories for
calendar items (either at work or at home). I just prefer a simple one
month view. Thank you for sharing the information. Quicken must have
updated the help file at some point because when I was looking for sync
several months ago, it was not mentioned.

I'm not recommending the Sync to Outlook, but your reply sounds like you
don't understand what the process does.

The only reason I mentioned Viewing Appointments by Category was so the
other poster (and anyone else) could check to see whether their "sync"
actually worked.

You don't have to have your calendar items Viewed by Category for the
synced reminders to work: Viewing by Category is just a way to quickly see
which Quicken reminders you have in Outlook.

An Outlook "Quicken Bill Reminder" should act exactly the same as any
Appointment you manually add to your Outlook Calendar ... regardless of
how you "View" your Calendar ... or even whether you look at your Calendar
at all.
