Ok, I ran a search of "duplicates" and found several similar questions
as mine, dating back many years, but no answers. Hopefully, someone
will respond.

I'm running Windows XP/sp2, and upgraded ActiveSync 3.5 to 4.5 for use
with my Windows Mobile 6.5. After the upgrade to 4.5, I discovered
duplicate entries in my Outlook 2007 calendar and tasks, on both my PC
and my phone (HTC Touch). I reinstalled the software on the phone to
remove all tasks and calendar entries, and I manually removed all
duplicate tasks on my PC. The calendar on my PC is extensive however,
so can someone tell me how to remove these duplicates. Thanks in
advance.

either use a duplicate remover tool or add the modified field to the all
appointments view and sort by it. All the appointments duplicated by the
sync should have the same last modified time.

ok, Diane, thank you. That worked. I used ODIR.exe and was able to
delete all my duplicate appointments and tasks. However, I notice I
have many duplicate To Dos, and ODIR doesn't offer that option. I did
some research but couldn't find an answer. I did read that I
apparently and unknowingly flagged a bunch of Tasks, which then
created my ToDos. So, is there an easy way to remove all the flags
from my Tasks so I don't have so many To Dos?

Again, your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
