I'm feeling really stupid here, Linda, I'm sorry. I've now searched my entire HDD for all *.pst files I found a couple in a backup folder and have removed them to another drive. The only pst files are now archive and outlook in f:\documents and settings\Tracey\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Calendar appointments only show up once but tasks are still showing up twice. Is there somewhere else I ought to be looking? Outlook has the above data path for my pst files with Outlook set as the default. Where else could it be getting this from? Are tasks stored elsewhere? Thanks a ton for helping me with this, I know how busy you are and I'm really grateful.

I really don't know why it's happening, but the only time I've personally seen it is when I had two psts open at the same time ... and once I got rid of the second one, the duplicate tasks went away ... are you sure you don't have ANY remnants of that other pst? Check your Tasks and Calendar ... are there duplicate entries in there? If you make a NEW task now that you are sure the other pst is gone, does that one show up as a duplicate too? ******************************* Linda F.

My backups are on another drive. Does it matter that my OS is now on drive F: and not C:?
