Hi folks,

I've recently moved from Europe to the US and all my 'All-
Day' calendar entries (e.g. birthdays, holidays, etc) now
appear across TWO days. Is there any quick way of fixing
this OTHER than (i) changing each entry or (ii) going
back to the European time zone?

Thanks very much!
Chris

switch back to the old time zone, export the calendar in CSV format. Move
the existing items to a new calendar folder. Change the time zone again and
import the CSV. once you are sure the items are all correct, delete the
calendar folder containing the original items.

Diane,

What to do with the recurrent all day events that are not suported by the
CSV format?

This doesn't work if one uses categories and links to contacts for calendar
items (which then also loses appointment type journal entries on the contact
level). It's not a good solution for anyone that uses the full power of
Outlook.

After dealing with this problem for nearly a year (moved from NY to WA) I
finally found the most amazing tool from planetsoftware.com
(http://www.planetsoftware.com.au/products/oam.aspx) which goes through your
Outlook calendar for a specified date range and adds/subtracts the # of hours
you specify. Has other options for specific folder, etc. Absolutely beautiful
and so simple. Why hasn't Microsoft addressed this? I've seen postings for
this problem all over the web.
