Contact and calendar duplicates with activesync

Question

I have a palm treo 700p with Verizon Wireless. I try to use Activesync with Microsoft Outlook to sync contacts, calendar and email. I use Windows XP Pro.
I keep getting duplicate contacts and calendar entries in both Outlook and Palm. How can I change my settings to prevent this.
Also wanting to know how to adjust settings to have Outlook override Palm info. I've made corrections to contacts in outlook, and want that to override what is in Palm before I sync.
