Outlook2003 used with an exchange server. I am not sure how this could have
happened but I havent been able to find anything online as to what would
cause it...

A user has all day events (spanning multiple days) in his calendar. He
noticed that all the all day events that are in the future now have clocks at
the begining and end of the block of days and that the event has been
extended by one day.

From what I have been able to figure out, if I check the all day event again
and move the end date back a day it fixes it, but the question is why did
this switch automatically to this format? The end user stated they did not go
in and modify these events and it only is doing this for future events. All
events in the past are showed as all day events. Any idea?

I am having the same issue. There are 4 users total that access a specific
public calender and two of the four users add an all day event spanning
multiple days and then somewhere it gets switched to events with begin and
end times, over lapping, and incorrect end time. Have you found anything of
usefulness in what is causing this? The other two users have no issues with
their all day events.

verify the computers have the correct time and time zones (including DST
settings) - otherwise it's normal for the times to change when viewed from
other time zones.

Thanks. But in my situation it is not a public calander and it is the end
users own calendar that this is occuring to. Only one other user has access
to his calendar and they are both in the same timezone and show the same time
(policied out).
