Outlook 2003 Cannot Delete a Bad Reminder

I have inadvertently added a bad reminder (where the end date occurs before the start date) using an iCalendar import.

Now, the reminder keeps popping up (this has been going on for two weeks). I can't open the item as I keep getting an error "Cannot open the item for this reminder. The end date you entered occurs before the start date". I also cannot "dismiss" the reminder either.

I am not using Exchange (this is a stand-alone Outlook 2003).

I've tried the /CleanReminders switch on outlook.exe, but that does not fix it.

I'm desperate for a solution. Can anyone help me? Is there a way to get at the "raw" reminders so I can delete this bad item?

All help is appreciated.
