I am currently running the latest SharePoint services on Windows2003
Server R2. We are using Outlook2007 as the mail client.

I am creating a blank calendar on the SharePoint website that we host.
I am then linking that Calendar to Outlook2007.

My calendar has over 2000 entries in it so I am not going to manually
enter these into my SharePoint calendar. So I change the view to list
all entries, select all of them and then drag them to my SharePoint
calendar in Outlook2007.

Outlook 2007 support 2way sync so it writes it to the SharePoint
server. At first everything is fine, an exact replica of my local
calendar both within Outlook2007 and on the SP website. However after
a period of a few minutes the entries double, triple and the quadruple
and stay that way.

However if I remove the duplicated entries manually within the
Outlook2007 calendar they are then removed from the SP website and
never dupe themselves again.

Has anyone experienced this?

Nope. Hasn't happened here.

I have also experienced this. I thought I was going crazy and have
been trying to figure out what's going on. So far my limit is six
duplicates for each entry. I'm watching it so I'm assuming that each
time it synchronizes, it's somehow duplicating the entries again.
I'll post again if I figure anything out.

do you have all the latest updates installed? what permissions do you have
on the calendar?

I'm not seeing dupes but I do lose the subscriptions every now and again.
