I recently upgraded to office 2007 from 2003. We use public folders to share
contact information across a wireless network.

Since upgrading, I often receive conflict messages when i save changes to
these public contacts, even though I'm the only person who has accessed those
particular records. Sometimes the conflicting edits are more than two weeks
apart.

Another odd thing is that when I open the conflict message sometimes I can't
even see the two conflicting edits, or when I choose which one to keep it
doesn't change anything.

I can't find a pattern to this (although it seems to be worse when I have
the record open for a longer time - i.e. two or three minutes), and it still
happened when I connected to the network with an ethernet cable.

The other computers in the office (which are still using office 2003) seem
to be fine.

Does anyone have any ideas to stop me tearing my hair out? At the moment I'm
thinking I'll have to uninstall everything and reinstall office 2003.
