MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / June 2005Outlook SHOULD NOT change times of apointements if timezones do!
It is absolutely incredible that one MUST stick to single time zone to make things work properly!!! If I change time zone on my computer, the whole calendar will go totally wrong!!! and I discovered that when I missed my d**n flight!! I cannot believe that this is happening. It gets worst - this is the case even inmy Pocket PC!! The whole thing with time zones is completely useless, and I have to manually change to clock, of not, all scheduling goes down the drain... Use the dual time zone feature in Outlook and a 3rd party clock that can display any timezone if you need the tray clock displayed. http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2004/20041022.htm  SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ > It is absolutely incredible that one MUST stick to single time zone to > make [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?mid=dda24a80-0100-4 846-9db7-06e3cf158428&dg=microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring BTW - changing the computer clock to show the correct local time instead of changing the time zone will really screw things up, especially if you connect to a network. Many mail servers won't accept mail from systems if they are wildly out of sync... and it irritates a lot of people when the mail shows the wrong sent time. For this reason, combined with Outlook's handling of Time zones, I use the two time zone feature in Outlook and a clock that will display the time in any time zone (there are many clocks that display the time in different zones - I use power pro http://powerpro.webeddie.com/index.html).

I operate in 4 time zones. I travel back and forward between 4 places and have conference calls and meetings etc. It is not something unique - I know a lot of people that do that, at least almost all of my colleagues. And I simply cannot believe that Microsoft would not handle this better. Things get even worst with Pocket PC.
