Duplicate reminders

Thank you Jouri for your quick and helpful response and apologies for posting the link.
I understand what you are saying but it seems to be an issue particularly (I believe) with reminders associated with recurring appointments.
I can delete the appointment and then recreate it, but after synchronisation I often find that I have two reminders. It's as if Outlook remembers the reminder associated with the original appointment which did not really get deleted and it somehow gets activated again when I recreate the appointment creating not one but two reminders. I expect that in normal operation, on a single Outlook machine this is not a problem. It is because I am using the 3rd party Synchronisation tool. I note that in mobile forums this issue of duplicate reminders seems to crop up quite a lot when mobile devices sync with Outlook. When I use mfcmapi.exe I find it quite difficult to work out which is the "correct" reminder, to be retained and which ones to delete. The only way to be sure is to know the timestamp creation date of the reminder you want to keep and just delete the others. It probably doesn't help that I have been maintaining a calendar in PST which has been growing since 2001 when a bought my first pocket PC Compaq iPaq and I have moved it (exported / imported) it between a number of computers and devices since then :)
Thanks again for your input!

Duplicate reminders

rodehall	5/5/2014 9:17 AM I synchronise Outlook on two machines using (please no links to third party sites) I also synchronise on one of these machines with an Android mobile device. I cannot seem to avoid on occasions getting duplicate reminders on the PCs. I have successfully eliminated these by using Microsoft mfcmapi.exe but it is quite tedious and difficult scrolling through the .pst dbase to identify the rogue entries and deleting them. Is there an Outlook Freeware Add-in that could help with this? Many thanks Rod
