Reminder Dialog Box
 
I can't find the Menu item to pop up the Reminder Dialog Box on demand.
BTW, can the reminders from all opening URD be consolidated into a single Reminder Dialog Box?

There isn't one -- the Reminder dialog (and/or tray notification) will be automatically (re)displayed within one minute whenever there are overdue reminders (don't uncheck both options under Tools | Options | Search/Reminders). If there were a menu item to display it, the dialog would be empty anyway (unless opened during the < 1 minute window before it is automatically displayed). Snoozed items won't show up in the Reminder dialog until they come due again, and the dialog will be displayed automatically.

They are - all reminders for all open databases are always displayed in a single Reminder dialog.

In my case, when a Reminder Dialog Box pops in an inconvient moment, I put it into SNOOZE state. However, I still wish to browse all pending reminders when I'm accorded a moment of pause. Then that's the frustrating moment when I realize I can't find one.

In my case, four Reminder Dialog Boxes pop up from four URDs respectively.

You can simply create a search based on "pending reminder" attribute. That's how I deal with tasks when I have more time, so that I can see which tasks are going to be due soon (those snoozed as well).

I already mentioned it somewhere, it would be nice to be able to see "recurring" attribute in the Reminder dialogue, and be able to set snooze to a given date/time.

I know someone will offer the Search trick as a work-around solution. I know the world isn't perfect. I'm overindulged by Outlook's excessive convenient features such as View > Reminders Window.
Hope Kinook will answer our prayer.
BTW, furthermore, can someone be kind enough to rebut my observation--multiple URDs pop up multiple Reminder Dialog Boxes? They don't pop up simultaneously, but definitely each belongs to a specific URD.

I can confirm again multiple URDs generate multiple Reminder dialog boxes, though they occur one after another.

[Update]
But careful observation shows actually the said multiple Reminder dialog boxes combine together as single dialog box subsequently after their first displays individually.
