activesync after reflashing

hey guys,

everytime i reflash and restore with pim backup i then reconnect my computer with activesync and i end up having duplicate entries in my office outlook as well as duplicate calendar entries. I have tried applying the re-sync using the different methods ie: asking to replace all data, or merge the data yada yada yada. .... sucks because we share our work calendar via plaxo..... sucks too but small business only way i know to share data between 3 comps and 3 pocket pc's..... so anyway to not end up having duplicates... i hate hard resetting when I get back to work monday so I can sync and have no duplicates.

If you are using outlook, pim backup is what is causing your duplication. The first time you sync after a flash, outlook will put all your contacts, appointments, tasks back.

Don't restore your PIM data from the backup. Let ActiveSync do that part for you. Learned this one the hard way myself too

yeah but it gives you the option to combine the items with the items on device or replace items on device. not to mention if i flash on the road i don't have my computer to use activesync.. theres gotta be a way around it.

Yeah, the answer is not to flash on the road. You were told what is causing the problem.
