Hi Don,

Actually if you have setup a partnership with two computers, you should be
able to have the same set of Contacts, Calendar, Files, Task and Notes.
However, the problem of duplication tends to occur sometimes when you use
the Combine option. To clear such entries, download and use the free
Outlook Duplicate Remover utility, written by Fr. Simon Rundell ---

If the duplication is occuring regularly, then you could try recreating the
partnership. To delete a partnership ---

1. Disconnect the PPC from the computer.
2. In Activesync -> File -> Delete Partnership.
3. Connect the device and follow the onscreen instructions to setup a new
partnership.

Also take a look at the Settings of Calendar chosen in ActiveSync if you
find some of your appointments are missing on your iPAQ. Open ActiveSync on
the computer -> Click Tools -> Options -> Select Calendar and click Settings
to customize it.

Hope this information helps you !!
