MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / March 20071 day appointment spans 2 days
Some predefined "appointments" such as Mother's Day, etc. show up as 2 days long. Also, other all day appointments that I make on my home PC (Outlook 2003), such as a birthday, will show up as 2 days long on my office PC when I "Invite Attendees" to my office PC (also Outlook 2003) from my home PC. This seemed to start when I upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003 Did you change time zones in either the OS or Outlook? That would cause the event to shift > Some predefined "appointments" such as Mother's Day, etc. show up as 2 > days [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > This > seemed to start when I upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003 No I didn't. I just checked both. Central Time with Daylight Savings is selected for both the OS and Outlook. This is my 1st post. I am astonished at how fast I got a reply! > Did you change time zones in either the OS or Outlook?

In my earlier post, when I said that I checked both. I was referring to the OS and Outlook's time setting. But, I had only checked my home PC. When I checked my office PC, I found that the OS time did not have the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes" box checked. I fixed that. I have been doing some testing, and have found that it seems to properly schedule 1-day appointments to 1-day from an invitation. Also, I had to go in and delete all the messed up (2-day when they should be 1-day) holidays, like Father's day. Then I went into Outlook...Tools...Options...Calendar Options...Add Holidays, and re-added the United States holidays. This established them correctly. I haven't done it on both machines yet, but the results have been good so far on my home PC. Thanks! > Hmmm, was it set differently when you created the appointments/events > > > No I didn't.

I have the same problem - all of my "all day" appointments and events span 2 days. If I open each individual appointment they automatically change back to 1 day length. How can I change them all automatically? > I have the same problem - all of my "all day" appointments and events > span 2 days. This is most often a mismatch in the time zone or daylight saving time settings in either Windows or Outlook's calendar.  SignatureBrian Tillman Same problem here. My computer did a Windows Update and now a bunch of my appointments/birthdays, etc are from 1:00 am to 1:00 am (spanning two days). Or the time has move back an hour (from 3:30 to 4:30 for example). I didn't change the time zone or daylight savings time box. These errors occur the week of daylight savings time last year (Oct 06) and then not again until March 11, 07 to the end of the month. Then again toward the end of the year (don't remember when exactly 'cause I manually fixed the bdays...). I know it has something to do with the change in daylight saings time (starts earlier and ends later now). Is there an easy fix?? --Tomara > Same problem here.

I started seeing it on my systems last year and affecting appointments I had next summer so it's before the update and affecting appointments outside of the change dates. I've never changed time zones. I've never checked the show time as clocks option. In most cases these are appointments I had set years before and had not touched for ages. When I check them the times are correct and the same as an appointment that does show up correctly. > > Same problem here.
