Using Outlook 2007 at work and at home, I regularly export my office calendar
to a PST file and then import this PST file into my calendar at home
effectively merging my personal and office calendars on my home computer This
has worked fine for over a year.

Today however, many of the imported items were give the prefix "Copy:", so
that instead of the item being "Meeting with Bob" as it appears in my office
computer, it now is labeled "Copy: Meeting with Bob". I opened the PST file
directly and the items there do not have this prefix. I always use the option
to replace duplicate items so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin
 
Any idea if there is a way to disable this "feature"? :-)

Thanks,

Kevin

Any update regarding this?

We have users copying calendar items from public folders to personal
calendars.

We'd love to suppress the "Copy:" prefix.

Cheers,
Trevor

I'm having the same issue, although I am opening up a PST file and then
dragging the appointments from my work calendar over onto my home calendar.
I've noticed though that it does not do this for every appointment. I
haven't figured out a pattern yet as to which appointments it adds the Copy:
prefix.

I do hope they fix this to allow you to turn it off.
