MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2007Appointments don't appear in the correct date
A weird issue with my copy of Outlook 2003, which seems to be happening all the time. I used to use it for E-mail only but have just started using the calendar, since getting a smartphone (a Nokia E61i). Every time I enter a calendar event, it appears on the date that I added the entry, not the date that it's set for. Strangely, when I click on the event, it shows the correct details - it just doesn't appear in the right box in the calendar. For example, I've just added an event for 21st July and it appears in today's box, 2nd, despite showing the right date when I double click it. I've also just added "UK Public Holidays" and they are all showing up in today's date. Surely this can't be the default behaviour? Is there some hidden setting for this that I've missed When I synchronise to the Nokia, it shows up on the correct date there... Apologies if this has been answered before, but I've checked on line and can't find an answer to it. Thanks.

I've read of one other instance where it happens, and I've tried entering exactly the same data in a friend's copy of Outlook, where it DOESN'T happen. It's extremely frustrating. Has anyone seen this happen? Did you manage to fix it and, if so, how? -- John Hudson, Gateshead (UK) (john@saltwell.demon.co.uk) > I'm now convinced this is some obscure bug in Outlook.

Thanks for the info. I eventually managed to find this on my own. I do find Outlook's interface clumsy, though. I've no idea how the fields START and END both got set to point to CREATED, but it seems to me that Outlook has lots of little traps like this. I'd love to know why Microsoft allows such an obscure customisation of the view as this but doesn't (as far as I can tell) allow basic control of the date format in the header. I'd like today's date in the day and week view to be headed "Tue 3 July" but it seems I'm stuck with "03 Jul" because that's the way Microsoft fixes it - unless someone knows better? SignatureJohn H, Gateshead (UK) john@saltwell.demon.co.uk Hi John If you post this as a Suggestion through Microsoft's Office Discussion Groups page(which is just a portal to the newsgroups) at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public .outlook.calendaring&lang=en&cr=US, then we all get a chance to vote for your idea...
