Outlook 2007 Meetings and Contact Duplicates

[t0adman]

I saw a thread a while back about how the connection between the device and Outlook through the Windows Mobile Device Center was causing contacts to duplicate and triplicate, and meetings to do the same. This morning I found 8 instances of St Patrick's Day on my calendar. I deleted all but one and now it's back to 3 after synching. Has anyone run into this problem? How did you fix it?

Wish i could help you out. If you were going through an Exchange server, I might have a better idea, however, I havent ever used Device Manager to sync Outlook before...

just the basic troubleshooting, does Outlook have everything just once? No duplicates?

Outlook has the duplicates as well. At one point I went through Outlook and cleaned up everything so there were no dupes. I'm thinking it may have something to do with MyPhone as well but it's tough to pinpoint the issue when it could be Outlook, WMDC, the synch process, or MyPhone, or a combination of some of those.

so, process of elimination, wipe the phone, clean up outlook, turn off myphone, and ensure that ONLY outlook and your phone are syncing with WDM. If they are fine, then enable MyPhone, go from there.

Just a thought.

When I first started syncing with an exchange server, I had already had active-sync to sync my email accounts. Then when I added the Exchange server it acted as though the emails and contacts on my phone were new and added them to Outlook and so I got doubles and then every time I sync-d my phone with that computer it would compound the problem. So you might check your Active-sync settings, It burned me at first.

Just wondering, is this free? Or is this a trial version.

It is free , it won't keep duplicates from happening , but cleans up the mess

Thank you, I needed this, had my Active sync setup wrong so every time I would sync with PC I would get double, then quad of everything, this saved my A**!
