Time Zone Shift Results in Incorrect Alarm for Event (146153)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows 7.0
This article was previously published under Q146153 SYMPTOMS
Alarms set for single events (annual events and recurring annual events---
items that do not have a specific start and end time) do not adjust for
time zone changes. This does not apply to items such as appointments that
do have specific start and end times. The alarm is triggered based on the
original time zone setting.
CAUSE
This happens because times are kept in the RingAlarms table in UTC that
gets converted to the Local time by the front end. This works correctly for
appointments because the appointment always have a specific start and end
time. However, for tasks and events that do not have a specific start and
end time (the start time is assumed to be 12 A.M. of that day), the
NotifyDateTime gets converted when it should not be.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Schedule+ version
7.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
