My calendar has become infected with many duplicate entries, in some cases,
four and five duplicate entries for the same appointment. Microsoft says
these should be deleted entry by entry using the CNTL key but there must be
thousands of them.

Surely there is a more efficient way of eliminating duplicates. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Without writing a macro, you can change the view to table view and group by
subject. It would still take some time, but be much quicker than using a
day/week/month view.

View | Current View | Customize current view will open the dialog that lets
you change the view.
