Outlook; setting time for end of activity should not change date.

[Martin, Leicester, UK]

In Outlook when setting times for an appointment the end date automatically
changes to the next day. This is irrational and time-wasting. The default
should be that the date for the end of the appointment remains the same.
System: Dell PC, recent, Vista, automatic daily updates for Vista and Office.

your problem is not with Outlook or Microsoft but rather with Dell - they
install an add-in that breaks the way Outlook handles meetings. You will
find MANY posts here where someone describes a similar problem and is
immediately asked " do you have a new Dell". Read some of those for the
exact method to remove the nasty little piece of software that cuses your
problem.

I have a Sony Vaio and I have the same problem - the end time for
appointments automatically jump to the next day and I have to manually change
back to the current day. This sounds like a microsoft problem to me. Very
frustrating and time wasting.
