So I've done some research and I understand the UCT time system that Outlook uses - so that wherever you are the time is accurate. HOWEVER, I'm in LA and my boss has a 3pm meeting in NY - if i put the meeting in at 3pm it shows up as noon for him and the rest of the team in NY. Is there a work-around for this? Entourage (mac) allows you to select the time zone that the meeting is happening in. Of course my boss uses mac and i'm on pc. Anyone have any leads on an add-in or....anything.....thanks so much!!!

Outlook 2007 offers the ability to select the time zone that the meeting is happening in. Earlier versions don't. I don't know of any add-ins that offer that capability, but check at http://www.slipstick.com

BTW, there is a microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring newsgroup specifically for calendar issues.
