I believe I'm having similar issues. one of the secretaries has access to the
bosses calendar. on his calendar it shows a 1 hour meeting, on hers it shows
up on the day she typed in the entry in until its over, which is very
confusing. especially if she types it in a week or two in advance. we also
run Outlook 2002, on XP machines.

Sue, I'm not getting the hang of displaying the message I'm responding
to, so I just copied and pasted all of the history of my
correspondence, and the responses received, below.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong to not display the message I'm
responding to. I had assumed it was like an email reply that the
message to which you were responding was automatically quoted, unless
you deleted some or all of it.

Hope the text below is not too confusing, but I think it is pretty
complete.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Some people are using their department calendar to post if sÂ*omeone is

sick or out on vacation. When they post such an entry on oneÂ* single
day
(say January 5, 2005) in Outlook, then go to someone else's Â*computer
and look at that same appointment on that same shared calendÂ*ar, the
appointment has changed: it now is a recurring appointment lÂ*asting
from
today (the day the appointment was entered) through the day Â*before
(1/4/05) the day for which they posted it (1/5/05). This in Â*spite of
the fact that it was clearly not entered as a recurring appoÂ*intment.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?

The two machines are set for different time zones or have diÂ*fferent
Daylight
Savings Time settings.

Sue, I'm confused by your response: "

different time zones or have different Daylight Savings TimeÂ* settings



.."

I have checked and all the machines are set for the same timÂ*e zone.
I'm
not quite sure whether they all have different DST time settÂ*ings, but
I
will check; I forgot to last time I was down there.


But I'm wondering why a divergence in one of these settings Â*would
make
an appointment go from being a one-day appointment on one coÂ*mputer,
to
being a multi-day appointment on another computer, when the
Â*appointment
is being viewed from the same calendar on both computers?


We have also discovered a related(?) problem in the same depÂ*artment,
today. A number of department employees have permissions to Â*place
appointments on each other's computers. In one instance, theÂ*
originator
employee entered an appointment for 8am to 1pm. Another emplÂ*oyee
viewed
that same appointment on that same calendar (from anothe comÂ*puter)
and
the bar on the calendar shows as a one-hour appointment at 1Â*pm. But
when you double-click on that appointment bar, the dialog boÂ*x shows
it
clearly as being from 8am to 1pm. All these employees can scÂ*hedule
each
other's time, so they carefully block out lunch, breaks, timÂ*e off,
etc.
so that the system works. This same originator employee enteÂ*red a 4pm

break time on her computer. The same second employee doesn'tÂ* see that

4pm break time on the originator's calendar, at all. The secÂ*ond
employee does not have Windows XP, but pretty much everyone Â*else
does.
Could this be part of the problem. It still seems pretty bizÂ*arre,
even
if that is the cause of the problem. Any help would be appreÂ*ciated.


Thanks!

I find this newsgroup terribly confusing as to the mechanicsÂ*; I guess

I'm used to email listservs more than newsgroups.
Below, I've copied into this reply, several items: my origiÂ*nal
question, Sue Mosher's "different time zone" response which Â*I
couldn't
figure out, and the response I submitted with the additional
information that appears below, under my phrase, "Sue, I'm cÂ*onfused

Outlook stores an all-day event as an appointment that runs Â*from 12
a.m. to
12 a.m. So, say I'm in Eastern time zone and you're in CentrÂ*al. If
you open
that same appointment on your machine, it won't be an all daÂ*y
appointment.
It will be set to start at 12 a.m. Eastern time, but since yÂ*ou're in
Central
time, that's 11 p.m., so you'll see that appointment as spanÂ*ning 2
days --
frm 11 p.m. one day to 11 p.m. the next.


So, the next step to try to resolve the issue is to check thÂ*e time
zone
settings and daylight savings time settings on the differentÂ* client
machines
involved. The easiest way to do that is to right-click the tÂ*ime
display in
the Windows system tray and choose Adjust Date/TIme. It sounÂ*ds like
you've
done that, but you might want to check again now that (hopefÂ*ully) you

understand the issue a little better.


This is the most common issue that fits at least some of theÂ* symptoms
you
describe. Of course, you might be running into something comÂ*pletely
different and even previously unknown. I certainly can't expÂ*lain the
odd
behavior on delegated calendars.


What version of Outlook is involved?


The Google groups interface has a reply command, but you musÂ*t be
logged in
to use it.

And what is the issue with them? The newsgroup interface youÂ* are
using
apparently does not quote earlier messages in the thread, maÂ*king your
latest
message so short on detail that you risk not getting the ansÂ*wer
you're
looking for. Please take the time to quote the original messÂ*age.
