In Outlook 2003, I use all day events to flag, for instance, which customer
site I will be at on a particular day - I have been using the setting 'Show
Time as Free' and the events have not been showing up in the sared Outlook
calendar when people want to book meetings with me. Recently, this has
changed and, for some reason, these events are blocking out the entire day
indicating that I'm not available. Is there a simple configuration switch
that will allow me to use these all day events without blocking out the time
in my diary?

So something is changing Free to Busy? Are you using a PDA or blackberry to
access outlook's data?

It's not that the time is being changed from free to busy - to someone other
than myself, he time is simply blanked out. Previously, when I set up all
day appointments such as these, they didn't show up at all when a meeting
request was being generated - in other words, the meeting organiser could
accurately see when I was doing nothing.
