Default office 2003 sp2 corrupts calendar events

After applying office 2003 sp2 I noticed that al my recurring events in my
calendar where changed. Al my birthday events where converted to two days
recurring appointment.

If a contact was born on 12-03-1975 and had a recurring event in my
calendar, there would now be a two day recurring appointment (from 11-03
01:00 AM to 12-03 01:00 AM). The birthday entry of the contact was also
changed to 11-03-1975.

I use win xp sp2 with office 2003 pro. I also have activesync to sync to my
ipaq. I recently moved from the Netherlands to Peru and adjusted my time zone.

Can this be a sp2 bug, a sync error or does it have something to do with the
time zone.

It is strange that an event is converted to an appointment.

First search then ask. (grrr)

Found the problem. It has nothing to do with sp2 just with me changing the
time zone to Peruvian time. Learned outlook doesn't support absolute time in
its calendar but looks at the time of the computer. It’s in the outlook help
file under time zone.

I changed time zones together with the install of sp2 and didn’t look in my
calendar since.

Sorry.
