OL97: Appointments Import Incorrectly with Foreign Settings (172917)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q172917 SYMPTOMS
If you use the Microsoft Outlook 97 Import and Export Wizard to import a
Calendar appointment that ends at 12:00 p.m., from a text file, the
appointment time may import with an ending time of 00:00 A.M.
CAUSE
You used the English version of Outlook and your Windows Regional Settings
are set to a foreign country that uses twenty-four hour time. Regional
settings for German (Standard) and French (Standard) exhibit this behavior
when importing appointments. Appointments export with the correct time.
RESOLUTION
In order to import the appointments with the correct time you must change
your Windows Regional Setting to English (United States) prior to using the
Outlook Import and Export Wizard.
Follow these steps to change your Regional Setting to English:
- Quit all programs.
- On the Windows Taskbar, click Start point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
- In the Control Panel, double-click the Regional Settings icon.
- In the Regional Settings list, click to select English (United States)
and then click OK.
- When prompted, restart your computer and then try to import the
appointments.
