I have a Dell Axim Pocket PC 2003 device on which I have managed to
duplicate calendar entries.

For example, I have an all-day event that shows up with a parantheses
and a number 5, which means I have 5 identical events on that day. If
I delete one, it seems to delete ALL of them.

My Outlook 2003 calendar does NOT show the duplicates, so everything
is good there. It is just the mobile device that shows duplicates.

How can I best resolve this?

Thanks!

are you sure that this is what the number in paranthesis means - I think it
may mean that this is the 5th occurrence of this repeating event. So if this
event is on Dec 19, 2006 then it was set up as starting on Dec 19, 2001 and
repeating each year. This is quite useful in tracking people's ages on their
birthdays f you set them up to begin in the year they were born.

Check Activesync settings on your Axim. To avoid duplicates select
"replace the item on my device". it worked for me.

but this is not a duplicate - this is telling you that this is the 5th
occurrence in the series.

Ahh... okay, makes sense. I notice that not all of my appointments
have this feature. For example, I have two year events, one of which
shows the parenthetical notation, the other does not. Looking at the
recurring schedule, I did not see any telltale difference that would
cause one to show and the other not to show.

Ideas?

BTW, thanks!

Hmmm - not too sure - I see this too - some of mine have that noation and
some don't. I shall look into this more.
