Outlook keeps adjusting my recurring appointments times' when I switch the
clock to adjust for daylight savings. It even pushes my all day events to
1:00 AM to 1:00 AM (This includes the holidays you can have Outlook insert).
These recurring events were inputed pre-daylight savings and were skewed once
we lost an hour last weekend. Oddly though, this doesn't affect my computer
at home, only my work one hooked up to a small network. At home, the
appointment times stay the same no matter if the Adjust for Daylight Savings
box is checked on or off. Thanks for any help.

Soory about blank post... hit post button.
The reason it only happened at work is that you probably synchronize with
an Exchange Server at work and not at home. All my Outlook 2003 users have
found that their appointments in Calendar are off by one hour and all day
events now show across two days because they now run from 1:00 AM to 1:00 AM
the next day instead of 12:00 to 12:00. Doesn't happen for Outlook XP (2002)
users.

Thanks for the info...I am running Office XP but I'm thinking it may be
because the box "Adjust for Daylight Savings" was NOT checked when I inputed
all my original appointments. This may be a bug in Outlook though, since,
for example, the time range on an appointment on the calender view shows 10
AM - 1 PM (my original meeting time pre-daylight savings being 9-12), but
when I click to open the appointment and edit the details the time range
states in text my original 9-12 time. I ended up opening the recurrence box
and hitting OK and everything changed back in my main calendar view. Strange
bug, but I didn't have too many recurring appointments and future
appointments that i had to change. Thanks for the help.
