To view reminders go into Card File > Card List and double click on the card you want to view. At the top choose the Reminders tab to view a list of all reminders related to that card file.

The To Do list will show a list of overdue reminders that were manually created with a reminder date. To view reminders in your To Do List, click To Do List in the bottom left corner of the main AccountEdge window and then select the Reminders tab at the top of the To Do List window.

If you make contact with many people, deleting (also known as purging) reminder logs may significantly reduce the size of your data file.

Delete/Purge Reminders

Purging reminder logs may significantly reduce the size of your data file. Reminder Logs don't affect other accounting records, so you can purge as many reminder records as you want without worrying about your accounting information.

To purge reminder logs go to your top menu bar and select File > Purge > Reminders.
