Outlook Calendar changed all birthdays
Office 2003, Outlook on a Win7 computer. I have been using Outlook for
years, have 23 birthdays of friends and family to recur every year. Sometime in the last two weeks, all of these birthdays showed up as one day earlier. (I know it was two weeks because that was when I had addressed an earlier birthday card and it was fine then. When I checked dates for the next card to be addressed I noticed it was on the wrong date--so then I started checking the rest and sure enough they were ALL set one day ahead.) I had to go in and manually re-date all 23 and their future recurrences to the correct date. Does anyone have any idea of why this would happen and how I can keep it from happening again? All my appointments were OK, but they were not all day events like the birthdays are. |

Sounds like you either do not have daylight saving time set on your PC your you have failed to install the DST/time zone updates. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

My computer is set for automatic updates and it showed the right time on the morning of the DST change. If not, how do I do this? The weirdest part was the actual dates of the birthdays were changed an entire day. Like one on June 15 showed up as June 14 and also in the recurring series when I went to change that it said "Occurs every June 14 effective 6/14/2005." I find it very bizarre that the difference of one hour would so effectively change all of them an entire day. I have had holidays and all day events span two days before if they weren't set up correctly but never jump back an entire day. |

ToolsOptionsCalendar OptionsTime Zone. If you open the item and look at the start and end times, what do you see? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
