We have Office 2003 setup on our network. We have the calendar shared across
the network and in general it works fine. However, if one of our laptops
adds an appointment, the time doesn't show correctly on any of the PC's.

For example. I added an all day event (10/29/05) on a laptop. When I went
to a PC it showed it running from 10/29/05 - 10/30/05 and therefor shows up
twice on the calendar.

I also added a three day event (start time 10/26/05 @ 12:30am) (end time
10/29/05 @ 10:00pm) from the laptop. When I access that on the PC it shows
(start time 10/26/05 3:30am) (end time 10/29/05 @ 4:00pm)

I checked the basics (time zone, NET TIME, version) but everything checks
out OK. Any ideas as to what is causing this? Personally it doesn't bother
me, but a bunch of the secretaries are complaining.

check the time and zones again - along with the dst settings. Something is
not correct.

The dst setting? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

It was the DST setting. The laptops weren't set to automatically adjust
while all the PC's were set to automatically adjust.

Thanks

I won't mention how often this is the cause :)
