I have an all day event that cannot be opened or deleted.

I installed a fresh copy of outlook 2007 on my new Vista install and then
moved my old 2003 .pst file over.

A one day event now spans two days and cannot be opened. The times are 1:am
and 1 am. It's April 1, if that might help. <g>

I get an error message that says: Cannot open this item. You changed one of
the recurrences of this item, and this instance no longer exists. Close any
open items and try again.

Thanks in advance for any help. Bob.

The change in the time of the event is due to the change in the start date of
Daylight Saving Time this year. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2007/20070221.htm for information on how
to update Outlook and Windows for the new settings. If you can't open the
event instance in Day/Week/Month view, switch to another view (such as
Recurring Events) and try opening it from there.
