How reset all Calendar event times?

[Ken H]

I exported Calendar pst from an older computer. The old one had an improper
time zone setting so all my events on the new machine are offset by an hour.
Is there anyway to reset all events short of individual changes or changing
the time zone of the new computer?

Go back to the old PST and copy it to the new PC. Open it directly in
Outlook. Do not export or import.

Thanks, Brian

I did that. XP pst to flash drive to New Vista machine.

Still the problem. In fact, to my surprise, the times in events shift
around on the old box when I change the time zone. That would seem to mean
you can't move from time zone to time zone without messing up Calendar. That
seems an impossible oversight. There must be an answer.

both boxes are running Office 2007

Stop and think about it for a moment. The REAL time of the appointment
isn't changing, it is "your" time that is changing as you move from
timezone to timezone. You will need to correct the entry so that it is
the CORRECT time.

Thanks, Bob,

But I have thought about it. This means that when I move and change time
zones, all the times of events past (for which I need a record) are now
offset from the local times at which they occurred. That's poor. There
should be a way to designate a date after which the time zone changes.

No they still occur at the local time WHERE they were set to occur, and
since YOU moved, what time they occur for YOUR time zone is what is
shown. Let's say you set up a meeting at 1 pm and you are in New York.
Now you fly to Los Angeles, (and you adjust your time zone) you will see
the meeting at 9 am, and if you conference call New York, the meeting
will in fact be taking place. IF you want to change the meeting time you
may do so.
