Outlook shared calendar(SLOX) - 1 day event showing as 2

[thekman]

Has anyone had a problem where you enter a day event for holidays an
the like and it shows up as a two day event? We have been using thi
system for a period of time now but this problem has come out th
blue.

It tends to enter a date for the actual date and the previous date
This problem is not related to the time zone. Our clients are using th
outlook calendar.

Any help on this would be greatly received..

Is the event marked as the entire day on both days? Not to doubt you but
what you're mentioning sounds like a classic case of mixed time zones (event
setup in one time zone and viewed in another).

Thanks for input Vince.....

This is what we do step by step, this used to work for us. Hopefull
this helps:-

Go to shared calendar.

Select a date.

File, new, appointment.

Subject: whatever.

Place tick in all day event.

Save and close.

Everything fine, appointment displayed in grey area at top. Entrie
displayed only as the date I choose. Go into inbox, go back t
calendar, and go to date appointment entered but now it has a cloc
showing at the right hand side. Go to pervious day and entire ha
spread over two days. If I double-click entry, start times as 23:0
and showing over two days

I'm sure you checked this but are the time zone of the the PC and the time
zone in Outlook the same?

Yes they are and the time on the server is correct as well. It's
really strange problem . We also have appointments jumping fo
there date and time up to the grey section at the top and this i
causing major problems. The calendar is used heavily and appointment
are all over the place. :mad

Yes they are and the time on the server is correct as well.

Did you check the DST settings, both in Windows and in Outlook's calendar,
on all machines?

Disabled SLOX forms from within Outlook. This fixed the problem for
short period but it is starting to resurface. Any other ideas?

It’s not DST Setting but good shout!
