MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / March 2007Why outlook 2003 appointments got longer w/clocks at ends
Suddenly I noticed that some of my "no day/all day" appointment bars now span more days than they did before, and at either end of the bar there is a picture of a clock, which was not there before. What has happened? What does this mean? Note that I sync calendar with Palm device. Could this have something to do with it? How do I go back to what I had? The dst update was probably installed, especially if only appointments mar 11 - apr 1 and the first week of oct are affected. what version of outlook and did you run the update tool yet? http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2007/up070104.htm#oltz  SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM > Suddenly I noticed that some of my "no day/all day" appointment bars now > span > more days than they did before, and at either end of the bar there is a > picture of a clock, which was not there before.

I did not consciously install the "dst update" whatever that is. I did, however, install Visio 2007 Professional Upgrade edition. I wonder if that brought something along with it. I do believe that the changes which occurred are limited to specific periods, which may be the ones you mention. Please enlighten me as to what happened, what the dst update is and how to correct it? > The dst update was probably installed, especially if only appointments mar > 11 - apr 1 and the first week of oct are affected. what version of outlook [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > does this mean?

It fixes the time zone/ DST start and end dates to conform with the law that changed the dates beginning this year. There is an outlook tool to adjust the appointments - http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2007/20070221.htm has links to the tool and other articles you might find useful. Try the DST wizard. BTW- it's the first week of Nov, not Oct. DST can end as late as Nov 7 beginning this year and start as early as Mar 11, up from Apr 1.

This has nothing to do with the DST update. I have used outlook on my work and home machines synced by a Palm Pilot and this started showing up last December on both systems affecting all day appointments in the summer of 2007. I don't have the "show time as clocks" option selected. Several other posters I see in this forum have the same problem. > the DST update is pushed out by windows update to windows xp and 2003.

Sorry but I've never changed the time zone on this or any other machine I've worked on. > when all day appointments move to 2 days it's because the time zone changed. > [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > >> >> > this > >> >> > have something to do with it? How do I go back to what I had? What OS? Are you in the US and if so, are you aware of the changes to the DST start and end dates the government mandated? As a result, Microsoft created a time zone update patch so computers would have the correct time. This update affects all appointments falling in the new DST period. See http://www.slipstick.com/index.htm for more info and links to additional information.

How do I go back to what I had? I'm using XP Pro and yes I'm aware of and have done the DST update but this started happening last fall and many of the dates affected are next summer not in the change region. Also, if I look at the recurrance info on one of the affected appointments and one I just created that shows up like it should they look identical. Start and end times for whole day appointments are set to 12:00AM in either case. Also as I said earlier I don't have the "show time as clocks" option set and I've never changed time zones. > What OS?
