Default Duplicate data in Outlook Contacts after synching

Please Login to Remove!

Hi

I've looked at several of the posts on synchronization problems but can't a solution to my problem.

I've had my current BB for a few months. I synch initially from Outlook 2007 to BB and the fields look mapped properly. I have it set to notify if there is a conflict.

Ever since the first synch, random duplicated data has appeared in the Contacts records:
  • Email addresses are duplicated with ( ) brackets around the second version, thereby rendering the email syntax incorrect and resulting in errors if I choose that email address inadvertently
  • Data in address fields are duplicated several times, so that a record suddenly explodes with duplicate information on town, postcode etc

The problem has grown over time so that right now, nearly every one of my several hundred contact records has duplicate data.

I have looked for solutions everywhere, without success. This never happened with my old BB and I am now faced with having to rebuild my Outlook Contacts manually, one by one.

I don't want to rebuild my contacts only to find it happens again however.

Any ideas anyone?

Tess
