After a couple of replacement x50s and an upgrade to an x51v I have muptiple duplicates in my contact (4 of everything) and some duplicates in my calendar. Is there some easy way to fix this. I don't want to have to remove them by hand.

Thanks

Here is a free tool to remove duplicates - http://www.easy2sync.com/en/sync/dup...hp?googlead199

I haven't used, but it is worth a try!

I will try it and let you know.

I need somthing like this for my PPC...

 

SK Tools will remove duplicates - and a great deal else as well. Not free but an invauable utility in my view.

Kaisoft's Outlook Cleaner does a great job, too.

I've used this trick and it works like a charm. You usually get duplicate contacts/calendar when you restore from a backup.

-before restoring from the backup, backup BLANK PIM (PIM only).
-restore from full back-up.
-restire Blank PIM (this simply erases all your contacts/calendar, but keeps all your software programs)
-sync to your desktop, and the single copy of your contacts/calendar will be back.

I find this the quickest, easiest and safest way. I now always keep a Blank PIM backup on my SD cars.

Edge777 - Your method works if you don't already have the duplicates in Outlook. Another way to prevent the duplicates would have been to create a new partnership and tell activesync to overwrite the items on the device with the items on the PC.

Sktools is one of those really usefull little programs that seems to solve so many problems.... definately worth a look
