So you might check your Active-sync settings, It burned me at first.

I thought I was the only truely gifted person that did this, thank you for making me feel normal!=D>

Thanks for the great suggestions and the application to help prevent dupes. I think it had something to do with MyPhone having contacts that I'd cleaned out of Outlook and every time I re synch'd with MyPhone it would restore them. I've since removed all the contacts in MyPhone and expect it will repopulate with only the correct ones. In the meantime I'm going to install the app and see if that helps too. I love you guys, man.

What you guys are not realizing is how ActiveSync works with an Exchange server. I wrote another long review here in another thread that dealt with email sync, but in regards to phone/contacts, what you all need to realize is that when you sync your contacts via ActiveSync to an Exchange server the first time, or any time after that, any application you use to import contacts (meaning, from MyPhone, or another ActiveSync connection to your computer) OTHER THAN ACTIVESYNC will result in ACTIVESYNC seeing those contacts as NEW and then syncing them BACK to your exchange server.
