The meeting time is calculated incorrectly during the changing of daylight saving time in Outlook 2002 and in Outlook 2003 (278076)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
- Microsoft Outlook 2002
This article was previously published under Q278076 SYMPTOMS When you send a new recurring meeting request from a
location that is on daylight saving time to someone in one of the states that
does not adjust for daylight saving time, such as Arizona or Hawaii, the time
of the meeting on your calendar and the time on the other person's calendar
differ by one hour. (This one hour is in addition to the normal difference
between time zones.)
This behavior occurs only on the changeover
days, once in the fall and once in the spring. Any meeting on the calendar from
your time zone to an area that does not use daylight saving time is affected.
CAUSE This behavior can occur because Outlook does not identify
the missing hour or extra hour that exists on the night when the 2:00 A.M.
changeover occurs. WORKAROUND To work around this behavior, manually correct the time
differences in your calendar for daylight saving time changeover days.
MORE INFORMATION Outlook is behaving according to its design, except for the
two days of the year when most of the U.S. states change to or from daylight
saving time (in the fall and the spring). The time is off by one hour just on
the day of change because of when Outlook checks its time zone information (at
12:00 midnight local time for the primary time zone). On the fall changeover
day, 2:00 A.M. occurs twice, lengthening that day to 25 hours; in the spring,
2:00 A.M. does not occur at all, shortening that day to 23 hours.
