All Day Event Checkbox Grayed Out after IE8 Install

[Tom Mortensen]

I have a user who has appointments sent to him and he opens the appt and
usually checks the all day appt on many appts. Since we installed IE8 on his
workstation, this option is now grayed out on appts sent to him. If he
creates one, then he can check it, but not on appts sent to him. I looked at
the same calendar with another computer which has the same outlook client but
with ie7 and I can check the all day event checkbox. What has changed and/or
what can I do to resolve this?

These are meeting requests or just forwarded appointments? I can repro the
behavior with meeting requests, but it seems to me to be the correct
setting - users invited too meetings shouldn't be able to change meetings to
all day events. (I can change the time of the appointment though.)

I can't repro it when I forward appointments - they can be changed in to all
day events when using IE8.

Thanks for the replay. These are meeting requests. This checkbox went away
after IE8 install. He is the sales manager and he is a member of his sales
peoples appts. His normal practice is to open the appt, click the checkbox
to say all day event, and then the appt goes to the top of the day on his
calendar. He doesn't go to these appts, he just wants to know his sales
peoples appts on his calendar. This keeps his calendar clean for HIS appts
only. If there is a better way to do this, that may be, but his practice
came to a halt after IE8 install. I don't know what IE8 has to do with
Outlook client. I can go to another computer with IE7 and the box is
available. Thank you for your help in resolving this.
