Daylight Saving time change in Australia

Hi Everyone,
It seems that Entourage 2004 doesn't have the current changes to Daylight Savings installed. The detailed changes are written here: <http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/dst_times.shtml>

Any meeting requests sent from a Mac running Entourage 2004 appear an hour away from where they should be. Anyone got some tips for working around this issue? The server and workstation clocks are correct...

cheers,
Daniel

I can't tell... are you referring to a recent change in the table or one
decided a few years ago? Is your Entourage fully up-to-date?

It seems that Entourage 2004 doesn't have the current changes to Daylight
Savings installed.

It's possible a workaround will be posted.

This will not be an issue for Entourage 2008 customers who are still running
XL2004 for VBA.

I believe it was a change made two or so years ago; when the change was made, an update was issued which fixed the problem last year, but it seems the fix was only for that year in particular. All the latest updates to Office 2004 have been applied and the problem is still there.

They just posted today that they would be extending support for Office 2004.
I would expect an update to include the DST issues.
