I have a series of events in Outlook 2003 calendar. They could be say, my
shift roster which is a pattern of days and nights that repeat every ten
days. They are set as All Day events. Some events might be annual events
such as birthdays and others are public holidays.
Recently, when I was scrolling down the calendar I discovered that some of
the events had changed to span two days. I entered the event (a recurring
one and I opened the series, rather than the individual occurance). I
couldn't see where it was set to start at say, 1am on thursday and finish
at 1 am on Friday. I merely entered the recurrance menu, had a look, saw
that it was OK and then exited and saved. Nothing was changed. Yet, when I
did this the event fixed itself, as did the events that followed in the
series.
It appears that something was corrupted. What, I don't know. But the
events in question seemed to happen at the start of the series which
commence in around November this year. Events prior to that were
unaffected.
Another poster here complained of a similar problem. And someone suggested
time zone or similar changes. All I can think of is that Australia had an
extra week of daylight savings for which Windows XP wasn't set up to deal
with unless patches, which I was unaware of, were downloaded. Maybe that
messed with Outlook.
Thoughts?
