All day events indicate two days across time zones in Outlook 2000 (197718)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q197718 SYMPTOMS
An appointment in Microsoft Outlook set as an All Day Event appears
to span two days when viewed from another time zone.
CAUSE
Selecting the All Day Event option schedules the appointment from 12:00
A.M. to 12:00 A.M. When the calendar is viewed from another time zone the
time is adjusted for that time zone; therefore, the appointment overlaps
two days. This makes the appointment appear to span two days.
This issue can also occur when the Automatically adjust for Daylight savings time option is not selected in the operating system or in Outlook.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Outlook 2000. MORE INFORMATION
When an appointment is set as an All Day Event, its title is displayed in
a heading bar at the top of the schedule window. The time from 12:00 A.M.
to 12:00 A.M. is blocked out in the schedule with a colored bar down the
left edge of the window. The color of this bar indicates whether the time
is set as Free (white bar), Tentative (light blue bar), Busy (dark blue
bar), or Out of Office (purple bar).
When viewed from another time zone, the event's title bar displays a small
clock, indicating that the time of the appointment has been adjusted from
the original time zone. If the event is viewed from a time zone that is
two hours later than the original time zone, the time will be adjusted to
10:00 A.M. of one day till 10:00 A.M. of the next day. Both days will show
the events title bar.
