MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / October 2005Change of Time Zone forces "all day" events to span two days
I have moved and my calendar is a mess. Every "all day" entry is now spanning two days on the calendar. I have read on this site to export the calendar under the old time zone and reimport after changing the time zone on the computer, but exporting doesn't delete the old stuff so reimporting just compounds the problem. At this point, I'd be happy clearing out my whole calendar and starting over but I can't find any way to clear it out. Microsoft, what is the deal? Every time I turn around, I'm dealing with some other Microsoft Outlook limitation. Can someone help me fix this or at least tell me how to delete or clear out the calendar? Thanks. OK, in the old time zone export your calendar to a CSV file. Use a list view (like Active Appointments) to highlight all (hit Control-A) the items then delete them.

Now if I could only view images in my Outlook pane viewer (rather than having to open each one separately in a viewing program) I'd be happy. This made things even worse. Now all my original calendar appointments are gone, and the new ones are a mix of being the correct time and not. I didn't even change my timezone either- some program must have, and it messed up everything. Can you help me? > OK, in the old time zone export your calendar to a CSV file.

I exported the calendar as CSV and PST files in both the correct time zone/incorrect appointment times and incorrect time zone/correct appointment times, changing the time zone, reimporting, deleting existing entries, and about every combination thereof. In the end, I cleared the calendar and reimported from PST, with all the appointments an hour off and my computer in the correct time zone. I then changed the calendar's time zone so that things display at the correct times. This temporary fix works for now, but I would like to find out how to change things back so that when networking with calendar appointments, the times don't get shifted on others' calendars as their computer thinks I'm in Santiago (I'm really in Eastern US). Any suggestions? > OK, what series of steps did you follow to get where you are? Current state: My time zone is set to Santiago and the clock an hour slow (the net effect is that realtime for Eastern US is shown in the taskbar and the calendar lines up with proper times). My automatic clock synchronization is turned off so the clock won't jump to the "correct" time. Again, any suggestions on getting back to where I was before? > OK, what series of steps did you follow to get where you are? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > even change my timezone either- some program must have, and it messed up > > everything. Can you help me? Fix the time and the time zone - you'll have all kinds of problems with the computer time wrong for the time zone it's set for. At the very least, you'll have problems connecting to some networks and possibly sending email. To fix your problem: Set the time and time zone so the appointment times are correct and export to CSV or excel. Then fix the time so it is correct for Santiago - both time, time zone and daylight time setting and import.

Can you help me? I exported my calendar (into CSV, PST, and Excel), and cleared the calendar. I adjusted the time and zone (to the proper Eastern US- Santiago is the wrong one that my computer somehow wrongly got into.) and reimported, repeating for each format to try for the best results. PST importing put all appointments an hour earlier than they should be, as expected. [Clear, reimport from CSV or Excel]. This caused all my recurring appointments to be at the correct time (though not marked as recurring, because that format doesn't support recurring events) and all my non-recurring events or exceptions to recurring events were an hour earlier than they should be. The mix is even more disorienting, not knowing which events are true and which aren't, so I went back to this morning's calendar thanks to making a backup first. Any suggestions for another plan of action? > Fix the time and the time zone - you'll have all kinds of problems with the > computer time wrong for the time zone it's set for.
