MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / November 2005Outlook shared calendar(SLOX) - 1 day event showing as 2
Has anyone had a problem where you enter a day event for holidays and the like and it shows up as a two day event? We have been using this system for a period of time now but this problem has come out the blue. It tends to enter a date for the actual date and the previous date. This problem is not related to the time zone. Our clients are using the outlook calendar. Any help on this would be greatly received... Even though you mention it's not related to time zones, have you verified all the time zone info is identical amongst the machines in question? I'm just curious how you ruled out TZ issues in a problem that's typically caused by TZ issues > Has anyone had a problem where you enter a day event for holidays and the > like and it shows up as a two day event?

It's a linux based machine, which I know little about but I watched the guy check the time and it was correct. I checked the Windows PC's. Double-clicked clock and went to time zone tab. Via Outlook, tools, options, calendar options, time zones. > Even though you mention it's not related to time zones, have you verified > all the time zone info is identical amongst the machines in question?

Any other ideas -- thekma So, if you create an event right now it'll span two days automatically? > Hi, > > Thanks for reply...

Dear Key, please check in the calendar option in the time zone settings and compare it with the time zone settings in your control panel. Here you can enable or disable a "1 hour" time different. In Europe it is the 1 hour difference between the Winter and Summertime. If this setting is different in your setting,s a "day event" is now 1 hour shifted. Please check the settings in both time settings. In Outlook in the calendar settings and in the control panel on all PCs who have this problem. -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Notebook Synchronisation for Outlook: Public SyncTool http://www.publicshareware.com > Has anyone had a problem where you enter a day event for holidays and > the like and it shows up as a two day event?

I know the clocks have changed recently and where you are coming from. This problem has been known for months now and has got worse and worse. You make an entry in the shared calendar and it looks okay. You then got into your inbox (or whatever) and go back to the calendar and it shows in the correct date and the previous day. The entries are also jumping for meeting etc, from the specified date and time to all day events. Any other ideas?

Perhaps it is the server with the DST setting problem, since the problem occurs in a shared folder, which I'm assuming is on an Exchange server. If this assumption is incorrect, I can't explain it, other than to suggest there MUST be some machine in the mix whose time zone or DST setting is wacky.  SignatureBrian Tillman -- Brian Tillman Hi Brian, The server has been checked and the settting are correct. It's open exchange(SLOX). I agree it looks so much like a time zone issue or something to do with time but we have check and double checked these setting on the desktops and the servers. It's a really weird problem, one we have to fix all the same!! Any other ideas? Kev > > I have done this already and they are correct.
